"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."
"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."
"I watched this doc when I was in my 1st semester of college and I think about it time to time :) Absolute masterpiece about people with disabilities fighting for just wanting to be treated like any other human being. Highly recommend for everyone to watch it!! I loved the footage from the camp, it's super wholesome and it touches my heart everytime I think about it. "
