Black & Disabled in TV

Meet Nadal he’s 24 years old and was diagnosed with meningitis cerebral palsy two weeks after he was born. Nadal can’t talk verbally but communicates through an app on his iPad.
His dream is to become a Director telling inspiring stories but sadly no one in the TV industry has given him a chance. I shot and edited this short doc to raise awareness of the lack of disabled people working on and off-screen. Also to help Nadal’s work get noticed to make his dreams come through.
Thank you to Nadal and Eagel for sharing their story and to Marcus Ryder MBE the chair of the Lenny Henry Cente for Media Diversity for his contribution
