All Access Pass: Disability in Film & TV
4:00pm - 5:00pm
What do films like Stronger, Sliver Linings Playbook and The Other Sister all have in common? They all have storylines around disability!
On this episode of All Access Pass we talk about the representations of disability on film and TV. We begin by welcoming back Spencer from Season 1 and catching up with him to see what he's been up to. Patricio and Dezy talk about the under representation of disabled actors in Hollywood and what's being done to change this. Then Kaelin discusses the "Gold test" created by film producer Jenni Gold that can be used when watching a work of fiction that featuring a character with a disability. We end off by discussing the films The Other Sister and Sliver Linings Playbook as well as the show Perception and The Good Wife to see if they pass the "Gold Test"
