About this Short Film
Yolanda, by Malawian filmmaker Berger Badere (2022), explores how young people negotiate expectations around ability, identity and opportunity. Told with sensitivity, the film examines themes of bullying, stigma and prejudice alongside questions of employment, school life and social belonging. We see viewpoints that complicate simple assumptions and invite audiences to rethink stereotypes about physical disability and success. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Yolanda celebrates resilience and achievement while opening space for honest conversation about how communities include young people with disability. A thoughtful, human portrait that fits firmly within this festival's commitment to showcasing real talents and experiences.
