Moving film - about how disability impacts peoples lives in the Gulf, leaves me feeling inspired by the hope and dreams expressed in the film.
Thought provoking
I have watched this inspiring film a few times now and each time I glean a new perspective and meaning on what it must be like to have a disability in the Gulf Region. It is truly inspiring and thought provoking and I am going to share this so everyone can watch.

Insightful film, beautifully shot
Congratulations on the film.
As someone working in the UK in the field of Arts & Disability it was great to learn a little about the barriers faced in Qatar, but also the brilliant people overcoming those barriers and pledging to share their knowledge, expertise and inspiration as role models. Do keep posting films as the projects continue, please!
