Natalie G @RT04507709 2d An important reminder of how recently in history humans with disabilities were discarded as "other than"- human, important, worthy, etc. A shining example of how basic human rights were fought for (take notes). If you don't think that protection of human rights is important, Crip Camp will remind you that every single one of us is an injury, illness or birth away from having a disability or loving someone with a disability. Everyone should watch.

Jened was basically a hippie camp where everyone was accepted. And I love how raunchy and unrestrained a lot of the humor was back then, it's not how it is nowadays where most things can be offensive. You could actually learn to laugh at yourself and laugh at the world instead of being afraid of it. That footage of Willowbrook Institute was shocking. It was like something out of a horror movie. The conditions that those kids were living in was both heartbreaking, terrifying and sad. A really insightful and eye-opening documentary on the history of Camp Jened and the struggles but also great achievements and accomplishments of the disabled community. It shed some light on the disabled civil rights movement that was never talked about, I didn't even know that happened. It's also really inspiring seeing the change that Judy and all the disabled community behind her were able to establish for disabled people all around the world. They basically changed history.
