The community journalism students at FCC shot a 5 minute
documentary film, delivering strong messages about disabled people like the
title of the documentary itself "Disability is not Inability" and
"A disabled child is not a vessel to be kept but a Lamp to be lit."
The documentary also includes an interview with Mrs. Parveen Abdul Tawaab Khan;
founder of Rising Sun Institute who shared some of her struggles when she
started the institute as an Informal day care and the challenges she faced in
her mission of "empowering special children to rise."
One of
the students who shot documentary, Sarah Fayyaz was of the view, "The
purpose behind shooting this documentary was to give a message to our society
who is reluctant to give opportunities to these children with disabilities.
They have a right to live a normal life as much as we people do. Socially out
casting them or rejecting them on the basis of their physical disabilities not
only discourages them but it also doesn't reflect a good picture of our society
as a whole."
