Crip Camp

Down the road from Woodstock, a revolution blossomed in a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities, transforming their lives and igniting a landmark movement.

 

Crip Camp shows us how a group of young teenagers reclaimed the slur “crip” for themselves, showcasing their resistance, pride and identity. But what does it actually mean and who can say it? Join the conversation to learn more from people leading the charge of the disability rights movement.

 

Join Santa Fe Public Library 2PM on Thursday, July 25th at the Southside Library for a screening and discussion of  documentary, Crip Camp. This film is a powerful reminder that community is power and culture. The teens in Crip Camp found - and founded - their culture at Camp Jened and we invite you to join the community.

 

“Crip Camp is both a gripping look at the history of the disability rights movement and a timely call to action, urging us to explore our own duty to fight for the dignity of all people.” – President Barack Obama, Executive Producer
