CRIP CAMP: A Disability Revolution
1 hour, 48 minutes
Netflix’s original documentary is a funny and heart-warming tale. It begins with footage from 1971 of disabled campers and counselors arriving at Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped,” in the Catskill Mountains, New York State. The camp experience galvanizes this group of teens with disabilities to help build a movement, forging a new path toward greater equality.
The film is available on Netflix. Please watch it before the discussion.
