3. Crip Camp
Coming to Netflix March 27th. This new documentary took home the Audience Award at Sundance and Barack and Michelle Obama, are executive producers!
“Just a few miles south of Woodstock stood Camp Jened, “a summer camp for the handicapped run by hippies.” In Netflix’s trailer for Crip Camp, we learn about the empowering atmosphere of this Catskills getaway for disabled teens. The trailer is filled with sunny footage from the summer of 1971 and interviews with former Jened campers, many of whom went on to be major catalysts in the American disability-rights movement.”
