Add a little mint to your life, from Verney Rd School (Australia, 2023), is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than a plot summary, this piece is presented through its themes: feelings, group dynamics, perception and viewpoint in a school setting. It draws attention to the perspectives of teenagers and children with intellectual disability, and the ways they share experience and emotion. The film asks viewers to notice small moments and to rethink assumptions about young people in educational spaces. Warm, observant and quietly persuasive, it complements the festival's celebration of ability, achievement and everyday creativity.
