Dare to Dream

About this Short Film

Dare to Dream (Sui Watts, Australia, 2024) explores themes of achievement, family and competition through the everyday experiences of young people living with congenital disability and Down syndrome. The short touches on exercise, horsemanship and the bond between individual and family, offering warm, honest moments rather than grand statements. Sui Watts' observational approach invites audiences to consider ability, effort and community in fresh, relatable ways. A thoughtful addition to the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Dare to Dream sits alongside films that celebrate the talents and resilience of people with disability while opening up conversations about inclusion and opportunity.
