About this Short Film
See the person first is a thoughtful short film from Hillcrest High School that looks at how young people see disability. Rooted in themes such as cerebral palsy, physical and medical disability, wheelchair use, and the dynamics of school life, it raises questions about perception and the effects of bullying among teenagers. The work speaks to the everyday experiences of young people with congenital and acquired differences without assuming a single story. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this piece invites audiences to reflect on respect, visibility and how groups and peers shape the view of a person beyond labels.
