Champion of Hearts

About this Short Film

Mehmet Akif Guler's Champion of Hearts (Turkey, 2020) is a short film that explores determination, achievement and the everyday realities of living with a physical disability. Drawing on themes of arm wrestling, sport, university life and the long-term effects of polio, the film offers a clear-eyed look at motivation and personal challenge without presuming a single outcome. It sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability programme, sharing stories of ability and ambition and inviting viewers to rethink assumptions about strength and success. Thoughtful and unshowy, Champion of Hearts highlights individual resilience in a way that feels both honest and hopeful.
