In rural Pakistan, a mother and daughter build a school where deaf youth find voice and future.
Flying Hands
In Pakistan’s remote mountains, Aniqa Bano gave birth to her deaf daughter, Narjis, unaware of the deep stigma and silence surrounding deaf children. In a society that once kept them in the shadows, Aniqa challenges deep-rooted beliefs and lays a foundation where deaf youth now find not only education and respect, but a world of possibility.
La Lucha
In Bolivia, activists with disabilities risked everything for dignity. When pleas for a pension were ignored, they united in protest - trekking across the Andes in their wheelchairs. An inspiring journey followed, facing off against a government determined to silence them and a society indifferent to their struggle. But through cold, hunger, and vitriol, their resilience proved unstoppable.
