Breaking Barriers (Kenya Institute of Mass Communication, Kenya, 2023) explores themes of achievement, inclusion and filmmaking in the context of congenital and medical disability. This short film highlights the skills and ambitions of young adults and students, offering a clear-eyed and hopeful view of what is possible when talent and opportunity meet. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it contributes to a wider conversation about accessibility and representation in creative fields. Practical, warm and respectful in tone, Breaking Barriers is a welcome addition to a programme that celebrates the abilities and achievements of people with disability.
