This episode discusses issues surrounding assisted dying.

Living in a small town can be hard, you only know a certain amount of people and sometimes the people that you meet may not be right for you. Then one day you may meet somebody you've never even knew was there and they could be just the person you were looking for.

However, everybody comes with baggage and even though you get to know them and grow closer, you may realise that that the there is just no way that the relationship can go forward. Especially when it seems that both people aren't really trying all that hard to find a solution.

This week, Film-Ability is talking about the hit 2016 romcom, Me Before You. The issues surrounding assisted dying don't sound particularly palatable for a light-hearted romcom. However, that doesn't stop the juggernaut that is Hollywood and where there's money to be made, they can just skim over the finer details of the real discussion. Let's just hope the audience realises that it isn't so two-dimensional in real life.

Film-Ability is hosted, edited and written by Joel Fisher, author of Film-Ability: A History of Disability in Cinema that you can find at Amazon in Kindle and paperback.
