Sarah "Living with 18Q Syndrome"

About this Short Film

We are pleased to present Tina Torrens’ Sarah "Living with 18Q Syndrome" (Australia, 2020). This short film offers a respectful, human glimpse into themes around 18Q chromosome variation and the everyday realities faced by a young adult. It speaks to family relationships, sibling dynamics, employment questions and the practical symptoms and challenges that can come with a congenital intellectual disability. Told with care and clarity, the work fits naturally within the Focus on Ability festival’s programme, which highlights the skills, resilience and achievements of people with disability. A thoughtful addition that invites audiences to listen and learn.
