Director Statement

Differently abled persons face lots of discrimination in each and every step in their lives. Even their own parents discriminate them due to their physically challenged lives. Usually starts at homes which often is augmented in other spheres of society and life at large. The differently abled persons deserve equal opportunities and respects with others. This is a kind of human rights violation. This short movie “Enabled” is made to highlight this issue.
