About this Short Film
Exempted Hands, by Chisomo Mbalazo (Malawi, 2020), joins the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival with a quiet, thoughtful portrait of work, skill and independence. The film explores themes of achievement, employment and business through the lens of adults living with disability, including people affected by polio and visual or sensory impairment. Rather than prescribing a message, it invites viewers to notice practical skills, everyday strategies and the barriers that can shape opportunity. Clear and respectful in tone, Exempted Hands offers a chance to reflect on what support and inclusion mean in real lives. A valuable addition to this year's line-up.
