About this Short Film
See Me Not My Disability, by John Makhuwira (Malawi, 2022), is a concise, powerful short included in the Focus on Ability programme. While keeping its specifics purposely spare, the film speaks to achievement and the everyday realities faced by adults with physical disability. Viewers will recognise themes of employment, business and individual resilience, and encounter perspectives shaped by lived experience without sensationalism. As part of our festival, this work invites audiences to pay attention to ability rather than assumptions, and to consider how communities and workplaces can open up meaningful opportunities. A thoughtful piece that complements the festival’s focus on possibility and inclusion.
