REDEFINE ABILITY

SYNOPSIS

Over three years ago, I was inspired by the accomplishments that Paralympians could achieve and began to realize in many cases they were more able than a majority of us. When sitting down and talking with them, they shared that view even stronger. So my team and I set out on a mission to create a project to share the stories of some of these awe-inspiring people. In every case, unanimously, each of the individuals said the same thing, "we are not disabled". We're here to echo that message.

We brought together some of Egypt's most awesome and differently abled athletes to share their stories of where they've come from, what they see for themselves and their message to the world. We worked with the athletes to create a mini film showcasing their ability while training "abled" athletes and pushing them to exhaustion. The message, it's not as easy as it looks getting to where the athletes have made it. Supplementing the commercial, we built this site, to share each of the athletes stories.
