ABOUT THE FILM
A fearless documentary portrait of three athletes with intellectual disabilities navigating life beyond the international spotlight of the Special Olympics World Games.
All You Hear is Noise is a verite-style documentary that tells the story of three athletes with intellectual disabilities navigating everyday life beyond the spotlight of the Special Olympics. Trent Hampton, Melanie Holmes, and Chris Wines travel to the Middle East to compete on the global stage at the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi–then return home to face different hurdles in employment, relationships, and living independently.
Ned Castle and Matt Day’s directorial debut feature was created in partnership with the film’s main subjects and a panel of respected disability advocacy stakeholders–including renowned disability rights advocates Judy Heumann, Loretta Claiborne, and Lawrence Carter-Long. The production pays homage to the slogan adopted by the disability rights movement, “Nothing About Us Without Us,” as the film subverts the paternalistic and saccharine tropes that typically dominate media portrayals of intellectual disability (ID). In doing so, the film challenges the dominant representation of the ID community and offers a fresh perspective on the ID experience.

Move To Include
Move to Include is a national initiative that uses the power of public media to promote inclusion. It spotlights people of differing abilities and disability issues – including education, healthcare, housing, recreation, employment and local efforts to support inclusion – through television, radio, news, special events, and social media. The initiative works to inspire and motivate people to embrace different abilities and include all people in all aspects of community life.
Move to Include was launched in 2014 as a partnership between WXXI Public Media in Rochester, NY and the Golisano Foundation, the nation’s largest private foundation devoted to supporting programs for people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities.
