This week we revisit a Peabody Award–winning documentary about a summer camp that helped spark a disability revolution—reminding us that transformation often begins with community. Description: Crip Camp is a Peabody Award-winning documentary from Netflix and Higher Ground Productions that tells the story of Camp Jened, a summer camp in the 1960s where disabled youth could be themselves. The film follows several former campers who went on to be leaders of the Disability Rights Movement. Laura speaks with the directors and producers of Crip Camp about how they are using the film to advance the next step in the revolution: Disability Justice, a movement that 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, what could a truly intersectional Disability Justice Movement change for us all today? Plus thoughts from Laura on interdependence. Guests: • Jim LeBrecht, Co-Director Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution; Founder Berkeley Sound Artists • Nicole Newnham, Co-Director Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution; • Andraéa LaVant, Impact Producer Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution; And President and Chief Inclusion Officer of LaVant Consulting Inc. Music Spotlight: “Badass and Blind” the title track of Raul Midon’s album released on Mack Avenue Records. \"Steppin'\" by Podington Bear. Original Sound Design by Jeannie Hopper.
