About this Short Film
Watching My Leg Burn (Ahmed Alsaady, Australia, 2025) is a short film that explores anxiety, bullying, fear and mental health through the lens of physical disability and wheelchair use. The piece does not rely on spectacle. Instead it invites close attention to emotion, quiet moments and the pressures that shape everyday life. It will resonate with audiences interested in personal stories about resilience and vulnerability. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work sits alongside films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability, offering a nuanced and human perspective rather than easy answers.
