About this Short Film
Behind the Walls (2025), by Zambian filmmaker Carlos Tuncci Simukonda, offers a short, thoughtful look at themes of assistance, congenital and physical disability, intellectual disability, and the frustrations that can shape everyday life. The film presents varied viewpoints on perception and group dynamics, and includes moments involving wheelchair use and young adults.
