Body Talk in Togo

More than one billion people – an estimated 15% of the world’s population – live with some form of disability, of whom nearly 200 million experience considerable difficulties in functioning. A staggering 106 million children are estimated to have moderate and severe disabilities. People with disabilities in poorer countries are often amongst the most forgotten, very often hidden away, perceived as a curse on the family, as a social embarrassment and a cultural / religious defilement. Shot in Togo in West Africa, this film will contribute to the visibility of hitherto mostly hidden and abandoned peoples.
