About this Short Film
Am Able (2021), directed by Daniel Manda from Malawi, is part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme. The film brings into view issues around congenital disability, mobility and communication, and the social barriers people face at work and in group settings. It thoughtfully touches on bullying, prejudice, stigma and common stereotypes, while also recognising achievement and resilience. Quiet and observant in tone, the short asks audiences to consider how society responds to difference and what meaningful inclusion might look like. A concise, affecting piece that fits the festival’s aim to highlight the abilities and experiences of people with disability.
