About this Short Film
Speaking Out, by Hannah Brochocki (United Kingdom, 2020), is presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The film addresses stuttering and cognitive processing disability, and touches on mental health, stigma, stereotypes, prejudice and treatment. It offers a thoughtful, humane lens on the challenges adults and young adults can face when communication differences meet public expectation. Rather than assuming a single story, Speaking Out invites viewers to consider inclusion and the everyday barriers people with disability encounter. This short piece complements the festival’s aim to highlight abilities, lived experience and the quiet strengths that too often go unseen.
