Activism for Disabilty Rights.  The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and George Casen.  


This documentary relates the history of the disability rights movement in the US, beginning in 1971 with the experiences of disabled teenagers at Camp Jened, a summer camp established for them in New York State. The connections these previously isolated individuals made there with each other led to political activism to fight for their collective rights. This activism eventually led to the signing of the American With Disabilities Act (ADA) by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. Barack and Michelle Obama were the Executive Producers of this documentary.
