Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution is a 2020 documentary film that follows a number of prominent disability rights activists, beginning with their participation in 1971 at Camp Jened, a summer camp for teens with disabilities.
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020, where it won the Audience Award. In March 2020, Crip Camp was released on Netflix and received substantial praise from both disabled and nondisabled people. In 2021, the film was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Documentary Feature.
In the short (7 minutes) video below, CBS Sunday Morning takes a look at the film, the campers and the disability rights movement:
The 93rd Academy Awards will be broadcast at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 25, 2021 on ABC. While earning a nomination is an incredible honor, we do hope that Crip Camp and the film’s entire team including Nicole Newnham, Jim LeBrecht and Sara Bolder will be able to take home the Oscar.
