About this Short Film
Echoes of the Past, by Sombo Kapole (Zambia, 2025), is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. As the story is best experienced directly, the catalogue highlights the film's themes. It examines how children and teenagers with sensory and physical disabilities are seen by others and themselves. Through moments that touch on bullying, prejudice, stigma and stereotypes, the film raises questions about perception, viewpoint and achievement. It invites audiences to reflect on how assumptions shape everyday life and to recognise the abilities and dignity of young people who are blind or use a wheelchair.
