About this Short Film
Compare the Parents is a 2024 short from Australian collective Positive Powerful Parents. The film explores how comparisons between families and parents can shape attitudes towards adults with intellectual disability, touching on stigma, stereotypes and prejudice. It also looks at how interactions with government departments and group dynamics can deepen isolation or create support. Quiet and thoughtful, the piece offers a prompt for conversation rather than answers, inviting audiences to reflect on the labels society places on parents and people with disability. Presented as part of Focus on Ability, it contributes to the festival’s aim of highlighting diverse experiences and community strengths.
