About this Short Film
Yechalal (Henock Anteneh, Ethiopia, 2022) offers a quiet, human look at young adulthood and physical disability. Through images and interactions, the film explores themes of achievement and art, the everyday presence of crutches, group dynamics and the impact of prejudice, stereotypes and stigma. It does not ask for pity but invites thought about how people with disability are seen and valued. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Yechalal sits alongside other short works that highlight ability, creativity and accomplishment. A thoughtful addition to the programme, it encourages audiences to notice small moments of dignity and skill.
