About this Short Film
Against All Odds, a 2025 short by Malawian filmmaker Anison Jestala, sits within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival as a thoughtful, human-scale reflection on disability. Through intimate moments around everyday spaces and the challenges of living with a medical or physical disability such as stroke, the film invites viewers to consider resilience, adaptation and dignity. It highlights an individual's relationship with the built environment and the systems that shape access and care. Quiet and direct, the piece asks simple questions about independence and support without claiming to explain every aspect of disability. A quietly powerful contribution that opens space for conversation.
