The session brings together several documentary shorts. It opens with Posa’t a la nostra pell (4 min), a collective piece by social organizations connected to disability.

From Nepal comes The Road to Til (15 min), exploring the effects of the climate crisis on people with disabilities in isolated Himalayan communities. Actually, I Didn't Want to Stay Long (Germany, 24 min) focuses on historical memory, abuses, and institutional life.
