Film Screening: Crip Camp (12A)

Join us for a free screening of the award-winning documentary

Just down the road from Woodstock, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a parallel revolution blossomed in a ramshackle summer camp for Disabled teenagers. Steeped in the humour and music of the era, Crip Camp explores the universal experience of summer camp awakenings that would transform lives and shape the future of the Disability rights movement.

Told from the point of view of former camper Jim LeBrecht, the film traces the journeys of campers up to the present day, in this compelling and untold story of a powerful journey towards inclusion. Crip Camp will take you deep inside a revolutionary era and on a wild trip; a ride from oppression to empowerment, from infantilisation to freedom – the trip of a lifetime.

A clip from Crip Camp is featured in our free exhibition, Design and Disability.

The film will be shown with closed captions. If you have any access requirements, please let us know by emailing us at access@vandadundee.org.
