About this Short Film
The Ground, directed by Faith Msole (Malawi, 2025), is a short film that examines how assistance, group dynamics and attitudes shape the experiences of young people with physical disability. With a focus on sport, teenagers and the pressures of stigma, prejudice and stereotyping, it offers a thoughtful and humane perspective on inclusion and resilience. The film does not present easy answers, but invites viewers to listen and reflect on everyday moments of support and exclusion. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, The Ground contributes to a program celebrating the abilities and achievements of people with disability.
