A disability doesn't hold this young boy from pursuing an education.

The film follows the story of a disabled boy who wants to go to school, but whose dad refuses. In the end, the boy overcomes the odds and attends the local school.

To mark the release of UNICEF's report "State of the World's Children: Children with Disabilities," UNICEF held a contest for one-minute videos on the subject of disability.

Like all children, those with disabilities have many abilities, but are often excluded from society by discrimination and lack of support, leaving them among the most invisible and vulnerable children in the world.

UNICEF quiso oír las voces de los jóvenes sobre el tema del Estado Mundial de la Infancia e invitó a jóvenes cineastas a presentar un video de un minuto que reflejara su perspectiva sobre la discapacidad.
Como todos los niños, las personas con discapacidad tienen muchas capacidades, pero a menudo son excluidas de la sociedad al discriminarlas y no darles el apoyo necesario, dejándolos entre los niños más invisibles y vulnerables del mundo.
