Not A Barrier

About this Short Film

Not A Barrier by Redbird Lyimo (Tanzania, 2021) looks at how young adults with mobility impairment navigate work and social perception. Through candid interviews and group moments, the film raises questions about prejudice, stereotypes and stigma tied to wheelchair use and employment. It does not pretend to offer all the answers, but invites viewers to reconsider assumptions about ability and potential. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this short contributes to a conversation about inclusion and opportunity while celebrating resilience and voice. A thoughtful, human portrait that asks us to listen and rethink what defines capability.
