What you need to know:

  • Dalmas Otieno put it in this short film directed by Simiyu Barasa.
  • Several Kenyans have signed in into the competition to tell their stories.

This is one of the movies from the 2017 Focus on Ability Short Film Festival, an international competition that seeks to help people bring visibility to the heroism of disabled people in our society.

Several Kenyans have signed in into the competition to tell their stories and show how to appropriately associate with those who are differently-abled from us, as Dalmas Otieno put it in this short film directed by Simiyu Barasa.

Dalmas is an amputee, and has been from four years.

In spite of this, he is a professional football player abroad and has represented Kenya in as many fields as he can master, from swimming, to basketball, to dance.

Check out the film on the Focus on Ability website.
