The Ground, directed by Faith Msole (Malawi, 2025), is a short film that examines how assistance, group dynamics and attitudes shape the experiences of young people with physical disability. With a focus on sport, teenagers and the pressures of stigma, prejudice and stereotyping, it offers a thoughtful and humane perspective on inclusion and resilience. The film does not present easy answers, but invites viewers to listen and reflect on everyday moments of support and exclusion.
