Overview

A groundbreaking animated fictional documentary re-examines Aesop's classic fable, "The Hare and the Tortoise," by asking a provocative question: What if the Hare's infamous defeat was not a moral failing, but the unacknowledged struggle of undiagnosed ADHD?

"The Race" delves into the untold story of what happened after the finish line. Through compelling interviews with animal witnesses, this animated short unravels the events of the race and its devastating aftermath. We explore the profound public shaming that forced the Hare into exile, and how the "Slow and Steady wins the race" mantra became an unyielding societal dogma.

This film is a poignant exploration of judgment, neurodiversity, and the enduring power of societal narratives. It meticulously highlights the signs that, in retrospect, point to the Hare's undiagnosed ADHD – from his impulsive bragging and interruptions to his sudden distraction and infamous nap. "The Race" challenges viewers to reconsider deeply ingrained lessons, urging us to look beyond surface behaviours and understand hidden struggles.
