There is an unexpected turn in this short film from Gaylene Preston. It begins as a drama about a robbery; although there are three key witnesses to the crime, their accounts are all dismissed because they are disabled. The film then becomes a documentary, where the three actors who played the witnesses sit down for an interview. The trio chat about their thoughts on the story, and experiences living with cerebral palsy, blindness and deafness, respectively. Hold Up was made in support of The International Year of the Disabled in 1981; it won awards at both a film festival and a conference devoted to rehabilitation.
