About this Short Film
One Leg in the Lake (Odala Banda, Malawi, 2019) offers a thoughtful, human look at themes around accident and life after amputation. The short film considers the realities faced by adults living with physical disability, and the small adaptations and decisions that shape daily life. Set against a lakeside backdrop, elements of fishing and local labour appear as part of its texture rather than as spectacle. With a quiet, observational approach, Odala Banda captures intimate moments that invite reflection. Screened in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this film complements the programme’s aim to highlight abilities, experiences and achievements across diverse communities.
