About this Short Film
Mwanga, directed by David Waronja (Kenya, 2023), examines albinism, belonging and how young people are seen by others. This short film invites audiences to reflect on viewpoint, group dynamics and questions of inclusion as they relate to teenagers and physical disability. It sits within the Focus on Ability programme as a quiet, observant work that highlights everyday challenges and small moments of recognition without grand statements. Waronja’s film adds an important voice from Kenya to the festival, offering a chance to consider how perception shapes community and identity. Suitable for school groups and public screenings, Mwanga prompts thoughtful conversation afterwards.
