Description or Abstract

This audio documentary is about people with disabilities and the challenges they face trying to integrate into the Egyptian society. This audio documentary focuses on the journey of a young woman who had an accident and is now living in a wheelchair. While discrimination against disabled people and the inaccessibility of Egyptian streets represent a hardship that people with physical disability have to cope with, she was able to overcome all the obstacles and challenges she faced trying to integrate into the Egyptian society.
