Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution shares with insight, humor, and joy the experiences of a group of disabled teenagers at a summer camp for kids with disabilities and their journey to adulthood and activism that shaped disability rights.

The film includes footage of historic protests for disability rights that are important viewing for anyone who cares about effective activism!
