REPRESENT: BREAKING BARRIERS, BUILDING BELONGING | 16.75 minutes | by Jerry Monkman | from: Maine/New Hampshire | Short synopsis: An organization in Maine works with adaptive athletes to bring sports and nature to a community craving adventure.
DRAGON MOM | 25.75 minutes | by Harrison Buck | from: New Hampshire | New England PremiereShort synopsis: Dragon Mom is a short documentary that follows Laura, a mother learning to navigate the emotional, physical, and societal complexities of raising a child with that lives with severe disability. Her amazing five-year-old son, Alden, was born with polymicrogyria, rendering him nonverbal and paraplegic. As he begins to explore new possibilities, like learning to use a sit ski, Laura’s journey unfolds in parallel. Alongside her family, Laura must confront the realities of ableism, advocate for accessibility, and redefine what strength and connection look like. Through intimate moments of both struggle and joy, Dragon Mom captures the healing power of nature in building resilience, hope, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be truly inclusive.
