About this Short Film
Silent Mum (2024) by Yakoub Mugemule, Uganda This short film explores the experiences and relationships of young adults with sensory disability, with a particular focus on deafness.

Shot with care, the piece highlights everyday strengths and challenges and invites audiences to listen differently. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Silent Mum sits alongside works that celebrate the abilities, achievements and varied lives of people with disability. A thoughtful, humane contribution that prompts reflection and conversation.
