The documentary "Just Another Tone" by Khadija Qodsi and Samia Ali at the Fox Cinema at Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi today, coincided with the International Day of Stuttering.
The Bumblebee initiative in the UAE is an Abu Dhabi-based social initiative aimed at supporting the community and educating the community about the challenges they face. The initiative will also host anti-stuttering awareness on Saturday (October 20th) at the Madinat Zayed Sports Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The film is just another tone that took part in the Cannes Film Festival and the Malmö Arab Film Festival in Sweden. It is about a young Emirati woman who has turned stuttering from her problem into a positive incentive to help others suffering from stuttering in the United Arab Emirates.
The documentary aims to raise awareness of the problem of stuttering and to eliminate stigma that has been associated with those who suffer from it for a long time. The film also tracks Farah Al-Qaysiyah's journey to support the community of expatriates through her non-profit initiative to enter the UAE, as well as reviewing the experiences of other people suffering from stuttering and the problems they face every day of their lives.
Farah Al-Qaysiyah recently won the Abu Dhabi 2018 Award for her role in raising awareness of the stuttering disorder through the UAE's faltering initiative.
