This summer marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination based on disability. The movie Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution is a documentary that begins at Camp Jened in 1971, a camp in the Catskills for adolescents with disabilities. The film then focuses on some of the campers as they become activists for the disability rights movement. The directors/producers of the film were former campers and the executive producers include Barack and Michelle Obama.
Discussion Questions for Crip Camp:
- How did attending Camp Jened impact the main characters? (Jim LeBrecht and Judy Heumann in particular.)
- Did your feelings about people with disabilities shift during the film?
- Why is it important for people to find others who struggle with the same issues?
- What happened in the film that lead to societal change?
- How does this film relate to our current battle against racism?
