The Dedicated Pathfinder

Becoming Deaf after a childhood illness and kept out of school for 15 years, Askari Abbas opens up about his life in this film. Through raw honesty, he questions why the world expects Deaf people to adapt, but rarely learns to meet them halfway?

Now a designer at PwC and a part-time model, Askari’s life is a call for real inclusion – one where Sign Language is respected, and empathy replaces pity.

Watch this film to unlearn, listen differently and see ability through a new lens.
