About this Short Film
Threads of Hope, directed by Belinda Adams (Australia, 2025), explores themes around accident, brain injury and cognitive processing disability without prescribing a single story. The short reflects on how isolation, mental health, support and group connection affect people from teenage years into adulthood, and considers questions of inclusion and achievement. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it joins a programme that celebrates the abilities, experiences and accomplishments of people with disability. Warm and respectful in tone, Threads of Hope invites audiences to consider the practical and emotional supports that help communities thrive.

would have voted but was too late
7 years ago my son was attacked in a road rage incident. 25 of his brain had to be removed. For 7 years we have done this struggle on our own until Belinda asked me to join her Beanie campaign. Wow there is a whole community out there right around the world I cannot express how profoundly life changing Belindas beanie program was to us. I now know I can not only make a difference in my sons life but collectively we can make a difference for everyone. I am now proud and grateful to be a part of it. Thanks Donna
Such an incredible campaign to be a part of for such an important cause. And to see it all come together was moving experience. So grateful to have been given the opportunity to contribute. Well done to all involved showing just how big an impact we can all make when working together.
This was a truly inspiring day As a brain injury survivor it meant a lot to see how many people came together to support and raise awareness for the community.
