Bader Short Film Programme
Resilience
Adversity is a great teacher, and the films in this programme show how when faced with the right mindset, it can be a catalyst for self-development and growth.
A young disabled man who lives with his mother struggles to come to terms with his limitations. A devastating war erupts, and this only amplifies his feelings of helplessness.
A melancholic story of a young disabled man who lives with his elderly mother. She cares for him the best she can, but it is evident that the physically demanding job is proving too much for her own ailing body. Witnessing this, the young man is overcome with guilt and attempts to end his own suffering, but a devastating war erupts outside and he must put his plans aside for a higher calling.
