About this Short Film
Champions of Our Time (Chidi Nwokeabia, Nigeria, 2023) examines how competition, exclusion and public perception affect children and teenagers with physical disability. Without assuming a single narrative, it raises questions about inclusion, rights and who gets recognised as a champion. The film offers a fresh viewpoint on wheelchair use and the everyday barriers young people face, prompting viewers to reconsider common assumptions. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits among works that highlight abilities, achievements and lived experiences of people with disability. A thoughtful and humane piece, it invites conversation rather than answers.
