DOCUMENTARY FILM
CRIP CAMP: A Disability Revolution
On the heels of Woodstock, a group of teen campers are inspired to join the fight for disability civil rights. The documentary explores the experiences of teenagers with disabilities at Camp Jened, a summer camp in the Catskill Mountains of New York. The campers' bonds and experiences at Jened transformed their lives and ignited the disability rights movement in the United States. CRIP CAMP showcases Camp Jened as a "loose, free-spirited camp designed for teens with disabilities" where campers could engage in uninhibited physical activities, uncensored storytelling, self-governance, mutual caretaking, real friendships, and fun. As the campers grew older, many moved to Berkeley, California, where they became activists and realized that disruption and unity could secure life-changing accessibility for millions.

Excellent - A Profound True Story
This was a touching account of the fight for the rights of the disabled told by those who were ignored for too long. What they accomplished was nothing short of amazing. There are parallels to and overlaps of the fight for civil rights in the 1960's. Additionally there are things that reminded me of the Deaf President Now protest at Gallaudet College in 1988 - the marches, the candlelight vigil, the organizing of ordinary people put in extraordinary circumstances, the camaraderie of the disabled population from relationships forged at camp (like those at schools for the Deaf), and the tenacity to no longer accept "no" as an answer. Human rights are human rights, period. A truly educational and inspiring course/assignment.
