Nhama, from Ramingining School (Australia, 2023), is a short film that brings together young voices to reflect on friendship, music and teamwork. With a clear sense of place and perspective, the film explores themes of perception, prejudice, stereotypes and stigma while celebrating abilities and resilience. It offers an honest, human look at school life and teenage experience through Indigenous viewpoints and group interaction. Shown as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Nhama contributes to a program that highlights the talents, achievements and everyday strengths of people with disability. Warm, direct and thoughtful, it invites audiences to listen and rethink assumptions.
