BFI at Home | Girls on Film - Diversity in Ability with Ruth Madeley and Rachel Griffiths

Описание: Girls On Film is a film review podcast that looks at film from a female perspective. Join podcast host, critic and broadcaster, Anna Smith, to discuss diversity in ability on screen. Our guests, Ruth Madeley and Rachel Griffiths, have both recently made industry headlines with their work around casting actors with disabilities.

Ruth Madeley talks about her recent role in Verisimilitude, in which this wheelchair-using actor teaches an able-bodied actor how to act as if he had disabilities.
