9AM Welcome Remarks
9:15AM Introduction of Film by Presenter, Edward Ross, LCSW, BCD
9:30AM Film Featured: Crip Camp — A Disability Revolution (1 hour and 42 minutes) followed by Discussion
Crip Camp starts in 1971 at Camp Jened – a loose, free-spirited summer camp in New York for teens with disabilities. The documentary focuses on the evolution of those campers over the years as they waged a war for disability rights for all Americans: “This camp changed the world, and nobody knows this story. Crip Camp offers something we could all use more of—hope for the future” (RogertEbert.com, March 25, 2020). “Crip Camp has a universal message: Inspirations that begin in youth can lead to radical, world-changing results” (NY Times, September 8, 2020). The discussant will then facilitate a discussion following the film about the psychological and emotional experiences of disabled people within a disablist society, as well as the medical and social models of disability.
