Just in time for Invisible Disabilities Week; Steph is blessed to have the talented filmmaker Chris Cosgrove today to discuss all things Inflammatory Bowel Disease and his personal experience with Crohn's disease. Chris takes us through the process of his acclaimed film Boldly Go (watch on ABC Iview here), what IBD and ostomy representation we've seen in the media, and finally how Pete Davidson has become a likely ambassador for Crohns representation, particularly seen in the film King of Staten Island. 
For support and resources for those experiencing IBD, Chris recommends Crohns and Colitis Australia !
