In this week’s episode I was honored to sit down with Ruth Madeley. Ruth is an acclaimed British BAFTA-nominated actress, celebrated for her powerful performances and unwavering advocacy for disability representation in the arts. She is the star of the Apple Original Films’ “Being Heumann” a powerful new feature that chronicles the “mother of the disability rights movement,” Judy Heumann, as she leads a group of young adults who come together to find their collective voice in a fight against discrimination. We discuss the making and importance of the film, how the 504 sit-ins changed the world that was not designed for us, what she hopes the current and next generation of disabled creatives, advocates and activists take from seeing this film and much, much more.
This episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin.
