About this Short Film
My Mom deserves my help (Peter Etim, Nigeria, 2024) is a short film that looks at how we see care, independence and dignity within family and community. It raises questions about helping and being helped, and how perception can shape relationships when physical disability is part of the picture. The film also touches on prejudice, stereotypes and stigma, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own viewpoints. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits alongside works that celebrate the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. A thoughtful, intimate piece that invites conversation rather than offering easy answers.
