About this Short Film
Lucky I'm Alive Day, a 2014 school documentary from Weeroona College Bendigo (Australia), looks at how life can change instantly and how many people rebuild meaningful lives after spinal cord injury. The film combines a celebratory, upbeat tone with straightforward information — noting over 400 Australians experience a spinal cord injury each year — and a clear community call to action: a 97-cent donation at any Bendigo Bank branch in Victoria. Its student-led perspective makes the subject accessible for general audiences, schools and community groups, inviting practical support while emphasising capability and connection. Concise and community-minded, Lucky I'm Alive Day is well suited to the Focus on Ability festival programme.
