For this week I chose to watch the Netflix documentary Crip Camp. The reason why I chose this film was that I had watched it prior to joining this class and it was a film I wanted to for a second time for a better understanding.

We hear a lot about activism for women’s rights, gay rights, and so on but personally, I haven’t heard of many for disabled rights. Although I know there may be many when it comes to the stories of disabled people a lot of the stories I’ve heard are more for helping these people though doing things for them rather than letting them do things for themselves, which many are very capable of.

The film Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution focused on a group of teens, with different disabilities who all attended and thrived at a camp In New York. it demonstrated the first time any of them had ever felt truly free unlike when they were back home where they were treated as less than not equals. The film explains how and why the disability revolution began.
