It begins with&nbsp;a look into the world of Camp Jened, a summer camp which ran from 1951 to 1977 and provided a place for disabled young people to find inclusion, a sense of normalcy and a break from the stigma they experience in their daily lives. A quote that really stuck with me was that Camp Jened helped disabled people realise that they were not the problem, the problem was with&nbsp;the rest of the world. The conversations, acceptance&nbsp;and feeling of liberation in the camp became a springboard for a vital&nbsp;movement fighting to secure basic rights for disabled people in the United States. The documentary follows some of the Jened campers from&nbsp;1971 as they campaign, protest and storm government buildings to fight for equality.&nbsp;<br><br>I don&#8217;t like to attribute the word &#8216;inspiring&#8217; to the struggles of others but this documentary really feels so.&nbsp;There&#8217;s no request for sympathy&nbsp;or pity behind it, just an incredible story of a group of&nbsp;people changing the world, from a perspective many may not have considered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"\" style=\"background-color:#219d9a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would urge everyone to watch Crip Camp on Netflix.
