About this Short Film
If I Were, by Zekarias Justino (Ethiopia, 2021), probes how groups form ideas about young people with physical disability. This short film invites audiences to consider perception, viewpoint and the everyday weight of stereotypes, stigma and prejudice. It asks simple but important questions about how we see others and how those views shape opportunity and belonging, especially for wheelchair users and young adults. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, If I Were sits alongside stories of ability, resilience and achievement. It is a thoughtful, human piece that encourages conversation and reflection rather than offering easy answers.
