  • Did a Summer Camp Help Spark a Disability Revolution? Transcript
    THE LAURA FLANDERS SHOW DID A SUMMER CAMP HELP SPARK A DISABILITY REVOLUTION? LAURA FLANDERS: What can a small pocket of inclusive culture make possible for people who are normally marginalized or excluded from mainstream society? Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution is a Peabody award-winning documentary from Netflix and Higher Ground Productions that tells the story of Camp Jened, a summer camp in Upstate New York in the 1960s where disabled young people could be themselves. The film follows former campers into their adulthoods as activists whose work during the '70s and '80s helped secure federal civil rights for disabled people and eventually led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. But the story doesn't end there, the disability rights movement, like so many movements in American history, prioritized at first the leadership visibility and needs mostly of white straight cis-gender disabled people. Recognizing this, the directors and producers of Crip Camp are using their film's release to educate audiences about the next step in the revolution, disability justice. That movement centers the leadership of disabled queer, trans, Black, Indigenous and people of color. If the inclusive culture of Camp Jened could help transform American society in the second half of the 20th century they ask, what could a truly intersectional disability justice movement change for everyone today? Joining me are co-producers and co-directors of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, Jim LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham. And Andraéa LaVant, she's chief inclusion officer of LaVant Consulting, Inc. I'd like to begin first with congratulating you all for the Peabody award, which was announced this June.

  • Crip Camp Educator Discussion Guide
    Educator Discussion Guide Welcome Welcome to the CRIP CAMP Educator Discussion Guide! Whether you are a teacher working in a virtual or in-person classroom setting, a facilitator leading education efforts in a community setting, or a mentor in your religious or spiritual community, this guide provides a framework for fostering discussion, critical thinking, and action after viewing CRIP CAMP. Even though we are everywhere, disabled people, disability culture, politics, and activism continue to be silenced and hidden by the mainstream, non-disabled media and culture. It is our hope that viewing CRIP CAMP and engaging in a critical discussion of the film will advance understanding and interest in disability rights and disability justice for yourself and the communities you work in. Thank you for joining the conversation! Preparing for your viewing Before working through the activities and questions outlined here, we suggest preparing in a few ways. First download Sins Invalid’s “10 Principles of Disability Justice” (https://bit.ly/2IVrp6h) and read through it. Next, review these five core questions guided by the principles of media literacy. Throughout the discussion we encourage you to use the principles of media literacy to support critical thinking with your students. These questions are ones you can always return to during any discussion: 1. Who created this? 2. What values are being shared? 3. What techniques are used to capture my attention? 4. How might others perceive this media differently than me? 5. What is missing? Crip Camp Educator Discussion Guide 2 Tips on Talking About Disability and Difference Offer Language Options The words we use matter, and there isn’t one right way to talk about disability or disabled people.

ALICE: Welcome the Disability Visibility Podcast, conversations on disability politics, culture, and media. I’m your host, Alice Wong. Before we get started, take a listen to this. [beep, then mellow orchestral music] WOMAN: From as early as I can remember, I wanted to swallow the world whole. [a small crowd cheers and claps] Anything was possible. [ominous music] I just thought I would have more time. [distorted heart beat] I don't know what I did to myself. I don't think I can get up off the couch. I feel like my brain is perspiring. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to speak. [painfully slow-motion voice pushes out "wow".] MAN: If you say too little, and if you say too much, they think you're a mental patient. WOMAN: The doctor would tell me, "You're just dehydrated. Everyone gets stressed." ALICE: You just heard a short audio clip from the documentary Unrest. Today’s episode is all about disabled filmmakers and documentaries. There are quite a few documentaries that feature disabled people but very rarely are they directed, produced, edited, or written by them— that is something that needs to change. I’m in conversation with Jen Brea, the director and producer of Unrest and Jim LeBrecht, Co-Director and Co-Producer of Crip Camp.
