About this Short Film
Carrie's Speech, made by students at Maidstone Intermediate School in New Zealand (2018), is a short film that speaks to inclusion and the everyday realities of young people with diverse ways of thinking. With themes including autism and cognitive processing disability, the film sits naturally within the Focus on Ability festival, which celebrates the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Rather than prescribing a single interpretation, it offers a school‑aged perspective that invites audiences to listen and reflect. Warm and thoughtful, this piece highlights individuality within a school setting and reminds us why representation matters for teenagers and children learning to be seen and heard.
