About this Short Film

The film reflects experiences linked to congenital and intellectual disability while also drawing on comedy, group dynamics and references to the army. Young teenage voices emerge throughout, offering moments of humour and determination without reducing the people on screen to a single label. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Last Requests sits alongside works that celebrate the abilities, achievements and everyday lives of people with disability.
