Seeking Comfort In An Uncomfortable Place 2022 Directed by Debora Maité
THREE NEURODIVERGENT SKATERS OPEN UP ABOUT THEIR STRUGGLES AND THEIR MOMENTS OF PEACE
This short documentary follows three neurodivergent skateboarders Chloe (they/them), Kira (they/she) and Meg (she/her) as they share the challenges they have faced, their coping strategies, and how they have found means of expression, escape and a sense of identity within the sport and its community. From triggers around ignorant teaching at an early age, difficulties with over-stimulation and anxieties with socialising, these three skaters show us the trials of finding a personal balance outside the wider population's grasp of routine behaviour.
