About this Short Film
Thauti, a short film by Collins Menye (Kenya, 2024), offers a clear, unsentimental look at how adults navigate work and social life when facing prejudice. It looks at themes of bullying, isolation, employment and termination, and how perception and stereotypes shape opportunities for young adults. The film sits within the Focus on Ability programme as a quiet, powerful portrait of resilience and misunderstanding, and complements the festival's celebration of the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Menye's work prompts viewers to reflect on small moments that carry big consequences, without prescribing answers.
