About this Short Film
Yechalal (Hailegebriel Girma, Ethiopia, 2022) offers a compelling look at themes of achievement, art and competition in the lives of young adults with physical and medical disabilities, including amputees. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film contributes to our programme by celebrating skill, creativity and determination. Without assuming a single narrative, Yechalal invites viewers to witness how individuals navigate sporting and artistic challenges, and how group dynamics shape those experiences. It is a strong, humane work that fits neatly within the festival’s aim to showcase the talents and achievements of people with disability.
