About this Short Film
Thunder in the Heart (2022), directed by Jean Baptiste Nyabyenda, is a Canadian short screening in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The film looks at dance and community among young adults living with cerebral palsy and other congenital disabilities. Rather than telling a single narrative, it presents movement, rhythm and group connection as ways of exploring ability, resilience and joy. Through choreographed moments and shared rehearsal spaces, the work invites viewers to rethink assumptions about physical disability and to appreciate the skill and creativity on display. Warm, respectful and visually attentive, Thunder in the Heart is a fitting addition to our programme celebrating diverse experiences of living with disability.
