This is Going To Be Big

Australia

A heart-warming documentary unfolds as teenagers living with disabilities and neurodiversity share their dreams and confront their challenges while preparing for their high school musical.

Their parents and teachers are with them, but the spotlight is on the teens coming of age wanting to show who they are and what they can do. Teenagers Chelsea, Elyse, Halle and Josh share their dreams and confront their challenges on and off stage in the lead up to the performance of the John Farnham musical staged by their high school for students living with disabilities.

The screening on Saturday 21 Oct will be proceeded by an extended intro with director Thomas Charles Hyland.
