Disability is not Inability

About this Short Film

Disability is not Inability (Thomas Kachere, Malawi, 2021) is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The work explores themes of advocacy, congenital and medical disability, employment-related barriers, and the everyday stigma and stereotypes faced by young adults. It also touches on music and individual experience, and references Tetra-Amelia Syndrome within its broader conversation about physical disability. As part of our programme, the film offers a thoughtful, human perspective that asks viewers to reconsider assumptions about capability and inclusion. A concise and affecting contribution to conversations about access, dignity and opportunity.

This is powerful and so encouraging to those who are disabled they will see though disabled but life goes on they can do education employed and do other things in community than begging on Streets. They need support from those who are financially able this can bring out their potential in society..
