A fine documentary about a sometimes underestimated —but all too fair— civil struggle.

How important this documentary is and how it makes us reflect on the privileges we have and yet we complain about a lot.

When the 1960s civil rights movement got into high gear, one constituency seeking equality felt left out -- disabled Americans. But they were not to be denied, and they began finding their voice through a summer camp in the Catskills designedWhen the 1960s civil rights movement got into high gear, one constituency seeking equality felt left out -- disabled Americans. But they were not to be denied, and they began finding their voice through a summer camp in the Catskills designed to enable them to experience the feelings of mainstream living. Drawing upon their time here, they would later adapt the lessons learned to push for the equal rights that would eventually become embodied in the Americans with Disabilities Act, an initiative that would go on to have implications internationally. Through a wealth of archive footage and interviews with camp residents and counselors (many of whom were hippies and minorities, themselves seekers of reform and equal rights), directors James Lebrecht and Nicole Newnham tell this little-known story in a revealing and often quite surprising documentary, filled with an array of moments ranging from touching to heartbreaking to inspiring and even hilarious.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great cast of characters that it’s great to see, but the film focuses on the wrong parts of the story. The story was the protest, and the camp merely a background. Overall, it’s nice to see this important story told, but it overpromises and under-delivers.… Expand
