Know Yourself

About this Short Film

Know Yourself (2020) by Izabayo Leila, Rwanda We are pleased to present this short from Rwanda that explores themes around albinism, bullying, congenital disability and discrimination. Rather than offering easy answers, the film invites viewers to witness the pressures of stigma, isolation and prejudice that can shape family and community life. It is a quietly powerful piece that honours talent and resilience while pointing to human rights issues faced by young people. Know Yourself sits well within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, where we showcase films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.
