Don't Assume

About this Short Film

Don't Assume, made by Armadale Education Support Centre (Australia, 2019), offers a clear and personable look at themes linked to school, ability and inclusion. Created in an educational setting, the film sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival’s program, which showcases the experiences and achievements of people with disability. Rather than telling a grand story, it presents moments that invite viewers to consider assumptions we make about ability in schools. Short, direct and thoughtful, this work contributes a grounded perspective from a community often underrepresented on screen and encourages conversation about how schools can better support every student.
