"Down the road from Woodstock, a revolution blossomed at a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities, transforming their lives and igniting a landmark movement." Join us to watch Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
To celebrate UK Disability History Awareness Month, join Fawziyyah (your VP Wellbeing and Diversity) in watching Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution.
"In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization.
Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp "for the handicapped" in the Catskills, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place with summertime sports, smoking and makeout sessions awaiting everyone, and campers who felt fulfilled as human beings.
Their bonds endured as they migrated West to Berkeley, California - a promised land for a growing and diverse disability community - where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption and unity might secure life-changing accessibility for millions."
