Join host 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 a wheelchair-using actor teaches an able-bodied actor how to act as if he had disabilities.
Award-winning actor Rachel Griffiths speaks about directing Ride Like a Girl, which is based on the true story of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, which features Down’s Syndrome actor Stevie Payne, playing himself, as Michelle’s brother.
