About this Short Film

Story of Gibson: Disability is not Inability (Dorothy Mapira, Malawi, 2021) is a short film that invites reflection on achievement, inclusion and perception in the context of disability.

The film is sensitive in tone and direct in focus, showing how individual experience can shift public viewpoints. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits within a programme that celebrates the abilities and accomplishments of people with disability.
