Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution

In the early 1970s, Camp Jened, a ramshackle summer camp in the Catskills, became an unlikely catalyst for revolution.

This documentary follows teenagers with disabilities who found acceptance, community, and their voices at a place that treated them as whole people. The film reveals how the friendships and confidence forged at camp transformed campers into fierce activists who would challenge a nation's indifference. The story traces their journey from joyful summers to the front lines of the disability rights movement, including protests that led to landmark civil rights protections.

A powerful testament to how belonging and solidarity can spark societal change while opening viewers' eyes to struggles that remain invisible to many.
