Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution

marsh_6055 shared a tip "I haven’t cried at a movie in years. This one got me. Specifically, the bit with little Jennifer Keelan, gritting out, “I’ll take all night if I have to.” And I felt enraged that it should take that little girl so long to get up those stairs, and that people would waste taxes on wars and politicians’ salaries because they couldn’t be arsed to help the people they’re supposed to represent. The cowardice of Joe Califano, the embattled determination of Judy Heumann, and how far we still have to go."

pirateradiophx shared a tip "This does fit the list because as leftists we need to remember that disabled people get left behind and are often not factored into our plans. The longest occupation of federal buildings in US history was during the 504 sit-ins. Not to mention one of the only groups that helped us were the Black Panthers."

chris_krogh shared a tip "This movie succeeded in its purpose to have the world learn more about the disabled civil e movement. But something that is even better is that I feel I understand disabled people better and understand their frustrations. There were multiple times I laughed and almost cried just from the sheer joy these people had. This is a great documentary"
