The Journey

About this Short Film

The Journey (Nelson Banda, Malawi, 2021) navigates perceptions of disability and the ripple effects of illness and prejudice. Short and assured, it brings themes of cerebral malaria, physical and medical disability, bullying, stigma and stereotypes into sharp view. The film considers how education, group dynamics and social viewpoint shape young adults' experiences. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits alongside works that highlight abilities, resilience and the everyday realities of people with disability. A thoughtful contribution, it prompts audiences to reflect on assumptions and on how communities can respond with understanding and change.
