DESCRIPTION:Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution\n\n\n	\n		\n			'In the early 1970s
 \, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation\, discri
 mination and institutionalization. Camp Jened\, a ramshackle camp “for the
  handicapped” (a term no longer used) in the Catskills\, exploded those co
 nfines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia\, a place with summertime spor
 ts\, smoking and make-out sessions awaiting everyone\, and campers experie
 nced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as
  many migrated West to Berkeley\, California — a hotbed of activism where 
 friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption\, civil disobedience\, an
 d political participation could change the future for millions.\n		\n	\n\n\n
 \n	\n		\n			Crip Camp is the story of one group of people and captures one momen
 t in time. There are hundreds\, if not thousands\, of other equally import
 ant stories from the Disability Rights Movement that have not yet received
  adequate attention. We are committed to using the film’s platform to ampl
 ify additional narratives in the disability rights and disability justice 
 communities – with a particular emphasis on stories surrounding people of 
 color and other intersectionally marginalized communities. We stand by the
  creed of nothing about us\, without us. For too long\, too many were excl
 uded\, and it is time to broaden the number of voices and share the mic.'
