Lights, Camera, Inclusion!

It’s hard to believe but true. A team of differently abled individuals has produced two short films and a documentary film, largely by themselves, breaking new grounds and proving their potential in the  entertainment space to take inclusivity to a new high.

One of the films “When Opportunity Knocks the Recruiter’s Door” is about  the bias against the differently abled when it comes to recruitment.

The entertainment industry space is dominated by the abled and is elusive for the differently abled or those with disabilities. It was this harsh reality that propelled them to foray into the entertainment space.

The passionate team of around 150 differently abled first learnt filmmaking in partnership with The Film and Television Institute of India. Initiated by the Yes We Took Can Trust, founded by Madhavi 

Latha Prathigudipu, a national champion in Para swimming with laurels in Wheelchair basketball as well, they got trained in key areas, from acting to dubbing, screenplay to direction and even voice over.

So far they  have made two short films and a  documentary, showcasing their creative potential to the world, promoting inclusivity in the entertainment industry.

Madhavi Latha Prathigudipu Founder of  Yes We Too Can told TellMyStory.in “Filmmakers with disability bring diverse perspectives and stories that challenge stereotype, promoting inclusivity within the film industry and society at large”.
