About this Short Film
The Ability Within, by Tidzalerana Shelter (Malawi, 2024), is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores themes of adult life, business and employment-related goals alongside the daily realities of people with physical disability. The film draws attention to work, independence and practical skills such as repair, and includes perspectives of people who use wheelchairs. Rather than offering easy answers, it prompts questions about access, opportunity and ambition. Presented with sensitivity, The Ability Within sits comfortably in a programme celebrating ability, resilience and everyday achievement.
