"I'm so thrilled that this is happening, with the support of government and with exciting films from everywhere. Disability needs visibility in our country. So sad I can't be there this time,&rdquo; the 31-year-old said in a statement.
&ldquo;Margarita With A Straw&rdquo; had its world premiere on September 8 last year as part of the Contemporary World Cinema Programme at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
