About this Short Film
Tariku Getachew’s Am I Unique? (Ethiopia, 2021) is a thoughtful short that sits well within the Focus on Ability programme. Rather than outlining a specific plot, the film invites viewers to consider themes of friendship, group belonging and inclusion as they relate to young adults with physical disability. It pays attention to the small, everyday challenges faced by people who use wheelchairs and the social dynamics that shape their lives. Calm and observant in tone, this work offers a respectful, human perspective on questions of identity and community. A quiet, timely piece that contributes to conversations about access and belonging.
