Cyndy Lessing from Chigwell United Kingdom posted on 28 Jun 2018 5:50:12 PM A beautiful film helping children to understand difference and take away the fear of interacting with a person who has a disability. And that the 'disability' becomes 'ability' when doing something in another way - like painting. Congratulations to all the team
Joe Fischer from Sydney Australia posted on 28 Jun 2018 12:16:19 AM Congratulations on a wonderful film. I just want to keep learning says it all. Definitely building growth mindsets.
Deirdre Robinson from Wonga Park Australia posted on 26 Jun 2018 9:55:29 AM Thought the approach was great particularly the aspect of trying to paint without arms as artists in this field are well known for their artworks. Brilliant effort to get the children inside the disabled person and to record their interaction with such a disabled man. Well done

Marina Gnatyshina from armadale Australia posted on 25 Jun 2018 10:59:09 AM Laura what an amazing journey you had with your children and the team. It's so important for the children to understand that we are all different but at the same time how important is to be treated equally. We have to teach children from young age that we have to appreciate life be responsive for the needs of others and being compassionate. People are usually underestimate how much learning is happening in the kindergarten classroom and how capable this little people are.It's all about giving hope love and opportunities. Well Done Laura and the team
vic bell from Nottingham Australia posted on 21 Jun 2018 8:58:23 AM So beautiful and very happy fuzzy feeling movie. I love working with ppl with disabilities we can all learn something from them. This films should be used as part of curriculum at schools as a prevention of bulling. As more and more these days someone takes their life. It's so sad. I am just stating my opinion on this. Love and Light. May the best film producer win. You all are winners in my eyes. Kindest Regards Vic.

Kristy OToole from Caroline Springs Australia posted on 20 Jun 2018 10:41:58 PM Laura Pearce you are amazing What a wonderful experience you had with this group of children. What stands out for me is that you couldnt of planned this rich project as a teacher working solitary. Your ability to listen to the children observe and then go on a wonderful journey together is to be applauded. I wish you all the best with your nomination xx so glad we got to catch up at the conference last week. Good luck and Congratulations on a beautiful piece of documentation.
