Open Door - AIM

Open Door is a community-based TV series where groups or individuals make a documentary about an issue that concerns them. This episode is about Adults in Motion (AIM) - an organisation helping intellectually disabled young adults by giving them social interaction, education, life skills, and the possibility of future employment. The doco interviews AIM founder Sally O’Mara, and other parents; as well as volunteers and participants. Former All Black Robin Brooke features as the owner of a local supermarket offering work to an AIM participant.

Seeing them happy is worth everything. If you’re having a bad day and you come in here, it’s like you’re not having a bad day any longer. You just have a really good time with them. You come away laughing sometimes.

– AIM volunteer Kim Brydone
