Disability Rep In The Film 

All characters with disabilities are played by cast who share similar disabilities. Some of our team members who have disabilities play abled characters in the film. Not every one  in our team is comfortable to reveal their disability as the social stigma and potential loss of employment are very real concerns for us. And some in our team are abled but disability allies. 

​

Do note that preferred language when referring to people with disabilities differ in every country and it also depends on the particular time as language is constantly evolving. It also very much depends on how the person with a disability prefers to be addressed.  

​

The term 'partially blind' and 'legally blind' have been used on occasion in the film though Amanda who plays the character Siti prefers the term visual impairment which is what has been used  in the website and other marketing materials.

 

** Trigger Warning 

Though the film is not about the disabilities of the characters, the lived experiences of people with disabilities are very much evident in the story. No disrespectful language has been used but on occasion abled characters have underestimated/disregarded the characters with disabilities in the film.
