Synopsis

Harper Jade Petty, a vibrant and determined eight-year-old, exudes wit, love, and contentment.
Despite her young age, she harbours aspirations for the future.
However, unlike girls her own age, Harper faces the daily challenges of living with a disability.
‘It’s Rude to Stare’ chronicles Harper's journey to overcome the societal stigma associated with someone using a wheelchair.
It offers an intimate portrayal of Harper and her family's experiences since the moment they learned, at twenty weeks into the pregnancy, that Harper not only had hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) but also the most severe form of spina bifida, known as myelomeningocele.
Despite being advised by medical staff to terminate the pregnancy due to other potential medical conditions, Harper's parents remained resolute and point blank refused.
‘It’s Rude to Stare’ is a poignant narrative that emphasises Harper's fervent desire to be treated no differently than any other able-bodied child.
