The new Netflix documentary, "Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution," tells the story of teenagers with disabilities who attended an upstate New York summer camp in 1971 would go on to become powerful leaders in the disability rights movement. Correspondent Rita Braver talks with Jim LeBrecht, who - 50 years after attending Camp Jened - collaborated with Emmy-winning filmmaker Nicole Newnham on their acclaimed documentary, now shortlisted for an Academy Award. Braver also talks with activist Judy Heumann about how the Camp Jened experience inspired her in advocating for the Americans with Disabilities Act.

So glad you did this piece and posted it. More people should know what people with disabilities have done to get the respect-- and accessibility--they deserve.

I saw it on Netflix while in lockdown last summer. For me it was a unique film that followed some of the campers from their teens in the 1970s through the 2010s.

When I was about 13 years old ,I inadvertently came across a late night movie 🎥 playing on television 📺 called “The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter“ about a deaf man locked in a hearing world, starring Alan Arkin and the late, great Cicely Tyson. I was so startled by the ending-sobbing uncontrollable tears-that I never mad fun of a handicapped person(I never really did anyway)again. That movie made me champion the underdog and those less fortunate than me to be born in a world that is less than kind to those not considered ‘normal’. I implore anyone who hasn’t seen that movie 🎥 to please give it a watch and you’ll understand what I mean.🙏😘👍

That is awesome. I myself have disabilities we may look a little different on the outside but we are normal on the inside. It is wonderful to be treated normal.

Thank you to Bill Baldini(Ch 10 Phila) and Gerdalo Rivera(Ch 7 NY) for doing their superb exposes on Pennhurst(1968) and Willowbrook(1972) paving the way that changed the entire planet and how we treat those with different abilities.

The scene with the protesters climbing the steps of The Capitol was so compelling. It brought tears to my eyes.
