This episode features talk of emotional abuse, death by suicide and cancer

Getting the thing that you want the most in the world may come at a cost. However, being determined to get what you want may mean that you'll want to overlook those costs in the pursuit of what you think may be happiness.

The friends and family members that you have may suffer as a result of that. Let's just hope that before it's too late that you realise what really matters in life.

This week, Film-Ability is watching Muriel's Wedding, the hit Australian comedy starring Toni Collette which launched her Hollywood career.

So, join me as I explore Muriel's life and how her friend Rhonda is side lined and overlooked as she goes on her journey to success. Despite the fact that Rhonda is a wheelchair user after being diagnosed with cancer. It's a comedy, I promise.

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