Same Difference has been asked to publicise the following by a friend of the site:

 

Some three decades since Sir Daniel Day-Lewis starred as a disabled young man Christy Brown in the film ‘My Left Foot’ comes a lyrical short film ‘The Lullaby’ starring a disabled child and her mother’s impassioned plea for inclusion. Please help get the film off the ground at: indiegogo.com/projects/the-lullaby/x/29085705#

 

  T

Based on a True Story

London, 1997.

We enter the world of THE LULLABY when KAMANI, a single mother, using puppet
theatre, tells seven-year-old NEELAM about the school she has chosen for her. But, a
letter from the local authority arrives saying none of the primary schools is willing to
admit Neelam.

Undeterred, Kamani contacts ‘Inclusion Now’, an organisation to help her challenge
the schools’ refusal. She also hopes to return to work with her parents’ support. But
they arrive, unannounced, with the news – they have decided to return to India.

As the whirlwind settles around her, we find Kamani in a moment of quiet
introspection as she soaks in a bath. We see her inner world come alive as she sings a
lullaby of hope, promising to stand by her daughter, no matter what the obstacles.
