About this Short Film

Lucky I'm Alive Day, a 2014 school documentary from Weeroona College Bendigo (Australia), looks at how life can change instantly and how many people rebuild meaningful lives after spinal cord injury. The film combines a celebratory, upbeat tone with straightforward information — noting over 400 Australians experience a spinal cord injury each year — and a clear community call to action: a 97-cent donation at any Bendigo Bank branch in Victoria. Its student-led perspective makes the subject accessible for general audiences, schools and community groups, inviting practical support while emphasising capability and connection. Concise and community-minded, Lucky I'm Alive Day is well suited to the Focus on Ability festival programme.

Film Transcript

Life can change in an instant, and some of us are far more fortunate than others. Over 400 Australians suffer a spinal cord injury each year, and while there are many challenges to face, life is far from over. Lucky on the live day is all about celebrating life, and your donation of only 97 cents will absolutely make a difference, because even with a spinal cord injury you can achieve anything. Drop into a Bendigo Bank branch anywhere in Victoria. 97 cents is all it takes.
