About this Short Film
My M.S. Story (Ian Heydon, Australia, 2024) blends humour and honesty to examine life with multiple sclerosis. Rather than prescribing a single narrative, the short looks at themes such as employment, physical and medical disability, mental health, perception and personal viewpoint. Practical issues like wheelchair use, travel and workplace access sit alongside smaller human details, including how people cope and find lightness. Statistics and social attitudes are considered without becoming didactic. A warm and thought-provoking addition to the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it invites audiences to reflect on ability, inclusion and the everyday realities faced by adults living with M.S.

Lima autocucumber thought I meant Llama... probably not many sponsorship dollars in Llamas though Thank you Ian and Shayne for a very illuminating doco. I learned a lot about MS and you gave me a wee chuckle at the same time. Good luck
