About this Short Film
Abuse (Eyob Negash, Ethiopia, 2021) looks at how we see disability and the assumptions that shape daily life. Through images and perspectives tied to themes of amputee, begging and authenticity, the film asks how individuals are read by strangers and by society. It does not offer easy answers but invites viewers to consider viewpoint, perception and the gap between appearance and reality. Presented as part of Focus on Ability, Abuse contributes to conversations about physical disability by highlighting nuance and the complexity of public attitudes. A concise, thought-provoking work, it encourages audiences to reflect on what they take for granted.
