How A Summer Camp Started a Movement


Listen Later

The documentary “Crip Camp” tells the history of Camp Jened in the Catskills, where young adults became activists in the civil rights movement for people with disabilities. Filmmaker Jim Lebrecht, a former camper who witnessed the movement from the inside, teams with co-director Nicole Newnham for a rousing story of resistance, transgression and hard won freedoms.

— Raphaela Neihausen and Thom Powers
