Telethon Kid by Alistair Baldwin

TURNS OUT A RARE DEGENERATIVE DISEASE IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED TO LIVE A LITTLE #ITSGIVINGBLESSED

Sam’s adoring subscribers would describe him as an inspiration, and Instagram’s honey of disability positivity activism. Sam would describe himself as having one foot in the grave, the other in the bed of his latest hook up —turns out a rare degenerative disease is just what you need to live a little #itsgiving blessed.

After rising to fame as the poster child of Perth Children’s Hospital 2007 Telethon, Sam reunites along side his paediatric doctor-come-lover when they are nominated for a coveted research grant from big pharma. In a sexy ethical nightmare, the fearless influencer probes the shortcomings of a world that repeatedly fights those whom it’s meant to help.

Comedian, thought leader, and disabled ingenue Alistair Baldwin’s debut comedy starring William Rees, Ashley Apap, Max Brown (Nosferatu), and Effie Nkrumah and directed by Besen Family Artist Program 2020 alumni Hannah Fallow field gleefully straddles the ethical ambiguities of doctor patient relationships and self-expression.
