About this Short Film
Mummy Will Be Ok, directed by Sally Newman (Australia, 2024), is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than laying out a specific plot, it examines themes around parent and child relationships, mental health, anxiety and depression, and the ways stigma and stereotype shape perception. The film invites audiences to consider how emotions, love and isolation can coexist within families and communities. With a sensitive lens on viewpoint and group dynamics, it speaks to experiences often misunderstood or dismissed. A thoughtful, human film that fits the festival’s aim of highlighting the abilities and lives of people with disability.

Very good. I'm pleased there is a book to help explain to children. At first I thought it had to do with menopause and then I realised it was about mental health. I think its adaptable I will be sure to pass this on to my friends who work in mental health for their clients. Well done.
