About this Short Film
"The Mute Girl" by Nasif Ssebuliba (Uganda, 2024) is a short that explores themes of deafness, sensory disability and the power of perception. Rather than presenting a single truth, it examines how groups and communities form misconceptions and how understanding can shift when viewpoints change. The film speaks to young adults and anyone interested in how people with sensory differences are seen and heard in their societies. Selected for the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits among works that celebrate ability, resilience and everyday achievements. Expect a thoughtful, human portrait that sparks conversation about listening, seeing and recognising difference.
