About this Short Film
Odds Against 'The Simon Harrison Story' (Axel Newman, Australia, 2020) is a short film that reflects on themes of accident, amputation and the everyday work of living with a physical or medical disability. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, it touches on issues such as employment, driving licences, volunteering and the role of radio and announcers in community life. Screened in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film contributes to our programme by highlighting achievement, resilience and the practical questions people face. It is a thoughtful, grounded piece that invites audiences to consider ability, access and inclusion in familiar, real-world settings.
