Charles the Entreprenuer

About this Short Film

Charles the Entrepreneur, a 2021 short from Malawi by Innocent Nyambalo, offers a thoughtful look at themes of business, employment and inclusion for young adults with physical disability. The film considers what opportunity and motivation can mean for an amputee navigating the world of work, without presuming a single story. It is a clear, human portrait that raises questions about access and individual agency while celebrating practical ingenuity. Included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it complements the programme by highlighting the everyday challenges and achievements that shape livelihoods. A concise, moving piece that invites audiences to reflect on belonging, dignity and possibilities.
