About this Short Film
Hear Us To Understand, a 2022 short from Palmerston North Girls High School (New Zealand), offers a thoughtful glimpse into the perspectives of young people navigating autism, chronic pain and mental health within a school setting. Rather than telling a single story, the film explores perception, viewpoint and physical disability through moments that reflect daily challenges and triggers teenagers may face. Its sensitive approach fits neatly into the Focus on Ability festival, which highlights the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Suitable for educators and general audiences alike, this short invites viewers to listen more closely and reconsider common assumptions about youth and disability.
