Lest We Remember by Leon Rakai and Corina Abraham (Australia, 2024) is a short film that explores weighty themes such as stigma, prejudice, isolation and the effects of bullying.

Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work sits with other films that highlight the abilities, experiences and resilience of people with disability.
