Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution – review in 100 words
The Crip Camp provided teens with disabilities a chance to join the “Woodstock generation” in an inspired summer camp environment that eliminated the barriers that had limited their lives: protective parents, separate schools, social ostracization. After meeting each other, they formed life-long bonds around courageous and witty activism. We watch the community go from the isolation of the 50s, through the struggle for the 504 legislation, and on to the famous 1990 crawl up the steps of the Capitol to win the ADA. This exhilarating film is the first documentary from Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. Enthusiastically recommended.

How thrilling! And right there on Netflix. Bless you for letting us know. In general, bless and long hugs you. Docs are the best these days.
Fabulous! And heartening. And solidarity is essential in these heartless days. I remember the crawl and the local disability rights folks who cleared the path and raised my consciousness back in the 20th century. Little did I know how much I would rely on their work. Thanks.
