Master in French Teaching from Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo. “I participated in the film “Body and Soul” as one of the characters. The film portrays a little of my day to day, who I am, what I do. The film was a mutual experience; I learned to have more courage to face society and to know better people like me.”

MARIANA TEMBE

College student and dancer. “My life took a different perspective after the movie, especially in society. Actually I’ve been what the film shows, what was missing was the opportunity to convey it to society. The fact of being disabled does not mean that life will end; I have to think positive, that God gave me the chance to live differently from others, but in the same way. The film allowed me to know me better and discover values in me, as a person and as a person with disability. “

VASCO COVANE

Businessman in the informal trade sector. “I’ve always been hard working in spite of being disabled. I also do contemporary dance; this makes me feel good and I show my dedication to this art. The film was a unique and unexpected experience; it was an emotional and social transformation. Now people in the bus, my neighbours look at me differently and with more respect. “
