CRIP CAMP: A DISABILITY REVOLUTION | Official Trailer | Netflix | Documentary | Audio Description

[woman] Wait, you want me to tell 'em what happened? Well, two people got crabs, and they were spreading. We were all very hyper about it. I have to go shower some people. [chuckles] I'll see you later. [man 1] I wanted to be part of the world, but I didn't see anyone like me in it. I hear about a summer camp for the handicapped, run by hippies. Somebody said you probably will smoke dope with the counselors. [chuckles] And I'm like, "Sign me up!" Come to Camp Jened and find yourself. There I was

! I was at Woodstock. [man 2] You wouldn't be picked to be on the team back home. But at Jened, you had to go up to bat. Even when we were that young, we helped empower each other. It was allowing us to recognize that the status quo is not what it needed to be. [woman 2] The world always wants us dead. We live with that reality. [man 1] At the time, so many kids just like me were being sent to institutions. It was just a continual struggle. Most disabled people, like myself, are unable to use pu

blic transportation. [man 1] We needed a civil rights law of our own. ["Like a Ship" playing] [reporter] A rehabilitation program has been vetoed by the president because it was cost prohibitive. [woman 3] We decided we were gonna have a demonstration. [woman 4] You get the call to action. "To the barricades!" [reporter] A small army of the handicapped have occupied this building for the past 11 days. [man 1] So many people from Camp Jened found their way into the building. [crowd chanting] [wom

an 2] The FBI cut off the phones. The deaf people went, "We know what to do." That's how we communicated to the people outside the building. The Black Panther Party would bring a hot meal. We were like this. [man over PA] We are the strongest political force in this country. We will no longer allow the government to oppress disabled individuals. And I would appreciate it if you would stop shaking your head in agreement when I don't think you understand what we are talking about. [crowd cheering]

[man 1] What we saw at that camp was that our lives could be better. -[boy] Go! -[man 3] Go! ["Like a Ship" continues playing] [woman 5] If you don't demand what you believe in for yourself, you're not gonna get it. ♪ I sailed for pleasure ♪ ♪ I sailed for pleasure ♪ Would you like to see the handicapped people depicted as people? Excuse me? [laughter]
