Be My Brother
Too often those with a disability are marginalised in the community and face many barriers to having their wants, needs, opinions and desires communicated to and recognised by society at large. Be My Brother is a short film that endeavours to give voice to one young man's story. This heart-warming film was inspired by the lead actor Gerard O'Dwyer. Gerard, lives in Sydney, is a keen actor, avid swimmer and has Down Syndrome. Be My Brother shakes audiences out of complacency to realise there are many abilities that lie behind the exterior label of 'disability.'
