Kevin Mackie talks about One Little Finger. This film is about
Finding ability within a person with disability is no way impossible but rarely
acknowledged or practiced. Rupam Sarmah has dared to make a movie
like ONE LITTLE FINGER going against all the odds and taking a
challenge to have more than 80 persons with disabilities to act in the
movie. Some of them have genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, hearing
impairment, intellectual disability, autism, Down syndrome, multiple
sclerosis, dementia, etc. The primary goal is to bring awareness about
human rights issue, promoting Inclusion and diversity. Over a billion people
live with some form of disability. People are disabled by society, not just by
their bodies. The statistical probability that a portion of every life will be
lived with a disability pertains to everyone.
“One Little Finger” is a narrative feature film (English) in the US, coproduced
in India with a theme of “Ability in Disability”. The Film is Written
and Directed by Dr. Rupam Sarmah based on real-life stories.
“Using the film media as a platform, we are allowing differently-abled
people to act in this film alongside other local and international award
winning actors to promote inclusion and diversity. More than 80 children
and young adults with disabilities have acted in this film. The film has been
completed after 5 years of planning and shooting in various locations in
India and USA. ” - Rupam says.
