The young woman with glasses in this clip was Judith Heumann. She's one of the activists who got the Americans with Disabilities Act passed. She just passed away. This is such a great film to watch - you can see early on that she was someone who was going to change the world. And she did.
Crying just watching this. My daughter is severely disabled (physically and intellectually). We still fight for quality of life but so grateful for those that have already gone ahead and fought for what we do have today.
I discovered this watching USA Oscars here in Australia over 60 multiple disabilities since birth I will let it be known in my country of this doco regards from australia
I just watch it this morning. I was born an amputee in 1970 and wow this was a huge eye-opener on what was going on as I was growing up. These pioneers were paving the road for me to have a better life, an easier life. It was beautifully done!! I cried and laughed for all the right reasons. We have come so far, but there is still a road to travel to crush stigmas about disabilities. That's where this my generation comes in. People like Judy and Ed didn't do this for the attention, they did it because it improved our lives and it was the right thing to do. All of us, every day. If you think it hasn't made a difference in my life, wait till your disability finds you. You have no idea till you walk a mile in my shoe. Thank you to all of those who pushed and fought for this! Thank you to Michell & Barack Obama for letting these stories have a voice once more. There is still work to be done. Peace & Love, Shelly
I have Autism and those people who fought my rights to go university and get help for us, is what is what I can do now. Unfortunately it is still hard to try and find a job for us disability people because they don't understand or how to cope with us.
I have autism as well (Asperger’s to be precise), and I remember asking my mom if I would be allowed to be a teacher because of my learning difference. It’s been truncated due to coronavirus, but I finished student teaching this semester, and next fall, I’m going for my master’s in Special Education. I hope to be like Judy Heumann, and teach my students that advocating for yourself and standing up for what you deserve is the most important thing you could ever do.
Rachel, keep getting your voice out there. I worked with children and adults with Autism many years, before we had computers and internet. Now you have a tool to communicate with the outside and we want to hear from you. Keep being active. The future is yours.
Another important documentary that EVERYONE should see to increase awareness of the challenges and needs of our people with disabilities. 1:38 Some love to paint the Black Panther party as a violent, racist organization. It was NOT. It fought for equal civil rights among all people particularly our much maligned black citizens.
I agree about the Black Panthers. It's shameful that the US govt implemented programs like COINTELPRO to stop them, and others like AIM, from contributing to the betterment of society for all.
The Black Panthers did incredible work in advocacy for sickle cell anemia, too. They opened 13 free health clinics. They helped people get tested and later on find treatment at local hospitals for sickle cell. They also fed children breakfast before school.
@@ronpaganojd7645 I was active in the disability rights movement in the 80s and advocated for passage of the ADA. Also worked in first group homes in the 70s.
This looks fantastic. As someone who's been visually impaired since birth, I can say we need more films like this. I only just heard about the 504 Protests a few weeks ago and was both moved by the news and angry I hadn't heard of it before. This needs to be taught in schools along with the other movements for civil rights kids learn about.
Idk if I wanna see this because I see myself crying out of elation, happiness, anger and sadness for its entire duration. 😭 Shout out to disabled and chronic illness peeps btw. (I have colitis)
I did exactly that. In fact, just watching the trailer could get me going again. You will love it nonetheless. I helped with care for a paraplegic cousin for many years until he passed away, and boy did this touch my heart. The courage these people showed cannot be overstated. And the people who ran and worked at Camp Jened started it all by treating so many of them like people when no one else did. It's amazing how many of those campers ended up at the forefront of the disabled rights movement.
As a person with hidden disabilities, who works with an intersection of people with disabilities, this movie is empowering, enlightening and fantastic for the soul.
Not everyone is born disabled! It can happen to anyone at anytime! Why don't people realize what can happen if they don't treat karma with love, respect, & kindness? With or without karma why are people so cruel & heartless? Judith Heumann was on The Daily Show a few days ago! She was one of the disabled people who fought the government
This is so true! The same applies for severe/intractable pain patients as well. An accidemt can change your life in a split second and leave you in pain for the rest of your life. Just getting old, most people will eventually need pain meds. Taking away the only treatment that allows quality of life is inhumane.
I say this all the time! It’s crazy to me that there are still people and even entire countries that treat people with disabilities like they aren’t even people. Literally no one is immune to becoming disabled.
Very true. I was an able bodied ally during the period when this was made, working in various capacities with people with disabilities . But I had a disabling illness slowly undermining my physical function until I found myself too disabled to work just a few years after the ADA was passed. I was in my early 40s, with two kids and a husband with troubles of his own. My life changed in ways that I could not have imagined, even through I spent every day trying to help other people live with their disabilities and was witness to their struggles.
This documentary needs to be recognized much more than the tiger king. Don't forget that people fought hard to be here. Literally, Jim had to go up the stairs on a wheel chair so he could contribute to this cause. Let's support this documentary 👏🏼
i am a paraplegic myself for almost 30 years now, just whatched it and man, this was a good documentary! growing up in germany in the 70's america was always seen here as the land of freedom, social progress, a role model of the west. It was so nice how this movie portrayed this revolutionary, uplifting spirit back then. Strongly recommended!
I just watched this. Fascinating and well done. In the opening scene when Jim Lebrecht said he was only given hours to live, but he apparently had different plans, that resonated with me. Like Jim, I was born with a spinal condition, and likewise was not expected to live long. I'm 49.
I have muscular dystrophy and I went to one of those all disabled people schools when we were still segregated. I was so happy when I was allowed to go to regular school. I had no idea why this happened until I saw this documentary. Thank you Judy Heumann and everyone who helped us.
I was severely 8njured in the job in 2012 and left disabled. This movie is inspirational! Thank you to all of the people who fought for equal rights of the disabled. Great movie!!
This documentary puts things in perspective. Always teach your children to not make fun or tease someone different. Teach them to approach them politely and not be scared or weird about it. They will embrace the interaction. All humans need positive interaction. Great documentary.
Because it doesn't make good news or Clickbait. They also can't show how a group of like minded individuals can get together and actually effect change! What if everybody started protesting the daily injustices suffered by many? Then there's the cold fact that, just like many other issues; if it doesn't directly affect them, most people have no interest.
You are perhaps young? (not to assume anything), but, I am not young, and when I was young it was way before the ADA was passed, though not so very long ago (I'm not exactly old either). All the disabled students at my school were hidden away in one classroom next to the nurses office. (Those were the ones not wasting away in institutions.)They had a different lunchtime and a different recess period than the rest of the school so we never saw them. Once in a while we would catch a glimpse of "them" and it would be so alarming and scary. NOthing was accessible in the general world. There was practically no integration. It was COMPLETELY different in the 60's 70's and even 80's (the years I can personally speak to) then it is now, and still we have a long way to go. Often, when something improves in our culture, some people are not aware how recently it has changed. Just as the word "feminist" has taken on a negative tone, some young women now don't realize how recently is was that women did not have the rights they now have. My son was born the same year that the ADA passed. He has a number of handicapping conditions. I am so grateful he was born when he was.
I'm in my 40's, my mom worked in care facilities for all levels of persons with "disabilities" and she was a hippy and yet I have never heard of this moment. I look forward to watching this. These people sound like hero's to me.
I’ll definitely be watching. I’ve always had respect for the disabled, and I would love to hear their stories! Much love to Netflix & the people involved for this 💕
I'm 37, disabled from birth, granted I'm in the UK. But I didnt know this story. It's so true what you say. Not seeing people like yourself in culture hurts. I spent the first 30 years of my life hiding my disability. No longer. 💪👍
Yes I have cerebral palsy and we are always standing up to injustice and it’s still a along road for inclusivity especially in higher education and in education in general.
I CRIED so much watching this BEAUTIFUL Story!!! Judy is So AMAZING I just adore that Woman! Passionate and Fierce from the BEGINNING! Everyone is just SO LOVEABLE, I wish I knew them! I am Moved beyond! Seriously! BRILLLIANT! *Cries Again*
Such an amazing documentary. Am going to watch this for sure. As a person who on the autism spectrum this film is an inspiration to me thanks to all the people who fight for humen beings with disabilities
This is an amazing documentary!! This fires me up so much. Because of the war on opioids, I'm one of millions of severe pain patients that have been forced to reduce, or stop, their pain meds. I'm a "legacy" patient & despite my doctor's support and knowledge that I need them to function, I have been forced to lower my meds to a completely inadequate dose. I am now forced to spend 95% of my time laying in bed. When I had the appropriate dosage of medications I could go to the grocery store, take a shower, cook for myself, spend time outside, visit family & friends & play with my kids. That time is gone...there is no one-size-fits-all health care answer; whether it's pain meds or any other treatment option. Watching this documentary, with tears of joy, sadness and understanding in my eyes throughout, I feel empowered and helpless at the same time. I meet all the medical requirements for a home health aide, as well as access to a wheelchair, yet am denied both due to Worker's Compemsation restrictions and laws. I hope some day soon the general public will come to understand severe pain patients (who are often disabled as well) deserve to have quality of life like anyone else. This issue for is is not only one of Civil Rights, Human Rights as well. Torturing people is supppsed to ne illegal, yet it's happening every day in America. For those who will take the time to watch this documentary, maybe you'll be willing to search TH-cam for "The Other Side of the Opiate Crisis" or "The Chilling Effect" by Siobahn Reynolds to learn more about this latest inhumane disability issue. Thank you Netflix for another incredible documentary.
Most of us have someone in our lives that is disable inbound way or another. Judy, James, and the rest of you are our heros. You changed life for so many, and forever. Dede
This is amazing! How did I not know this history? Very powerful and a part of American history everyone should learn about in school. I plan to assign this to my graduate students ASAP.
This is a fantastic documentary. I lived through this time and I remember when people with disabilities had no rights whatsoever. This is an interesting, inspiring story told by the people who lived it!
This movie is incredible. When my daughter was young she would refer to disabled people as 'handicapable' (instead of handicapped) because they are normal people who are capable, that sometimes need a hand.
Just watched it and loved it! I was in the mood for a good documentary with some heart and a great story of triumph to take my mind off current events! They are all great people in this movie!
This documentary is a must watch for many reasons but if I could pick just one, I would say: Judy Freaking Heumann! How have I never heard of this badass woman before? Her story needs to be taught in schools!
Thank you Netflix and the Obama’s for producing a documentary that is so needed! As the parent of a son with limited expressive language due to autism, this makes me appreciative of the group of individuals fighting for their rights! So sad that people are looked at by their disabilities and not their capabilities! Thank you so much for bringing this to light and for those who paved the way for discrimination to not be tolerated for disabled individuals!!!
I didn't go to the camp, I wish I knew about it. But when the got the law change about discrimination after I lost my job for getting ill; Thank to them, I fought back with this law.
I love the title. Worth the “click bait”. Netflix knows we need this kind of content to watch. They took Contagion off quick tho. It was eerily accurate to Ms.Rona V.
A brilliant story powerfully told. It seems incredible that just 50 years ago so few rights for people with different lived experiences of disability existed. THANK YOU to the real-life characters within this movie and the disability rights movement for forging such a strong community making more inclusive, valued, valuable and enriched lives possible for many. THANK YOU to the Obama's as producers, the Director and other creators who made this film so the story could be widely shared. It is powerful, engaging and positive. In a time of such social chaos, this story is a must watch! People from many backgrounds (PWD, outspoken counter-cultural media, political leaders, other civil rights leaders and communities) working together using their strength and abilities to make change that we all benefit from now as more people are enabled in our societies. Sadly still much work to go, but this period of change in the 1970s - 1990s can keep us motivated that change will come when we work together to remove structural and social barriers to us all contributing fully to society.
I feel it's sad that NYC while still the greatest transport city in the world... has still few options for handicapped people on the subways in terms of getting down to the trains.
The defensive answer is always "Money!", but there is a new initiative to include more elevators in subway stops. Of course, Covid-19 has put a stop on everything. We need to still advocate at the tops of our lungs and not let the city, or ANY city, get away with it!
This is really wonderful..i studied the struggle behind ADS (american with disability Act)...this one ACt has broungt UNCRPD and other human rights for PWDs...it is amazing effort of humans for thr rights..
AMAZING! These people, and the whole social movement has helped change a lot. Although as said at the end, without a change in attitude, law's are just laws, and this is very true. There is still some way to go, even now. This was very insightful, heart warming and very well made. Thank you
Ohhh and produced by the Obamas😍😍😍. Knowing there is a time disabled people are not accepted as equal people represents a lack of love in society. A physically disabled child in a normal classroom brings pride among kids for knowing someone different. It helps them see beyond differences and pride in themselves to help another person even if it's just getting food in the lunch line. My girl is visibly different physically disabled. How she helps her class be generally good people with pride as they adore her is inspiring. She is a gift way beyond what would have been expected at her birth and if she had been born normal.
Nice!! I just found this on one of my movie channels, and brought up its trailer so I could get a bigger idea what its about. After I saw what it was about, I knew my friend would really be interested in it as she was in a car wreak almost 20 years ago, when she was about 30 . And she is a paraplegic now and very head strong, so I knew the aspect of this movie being revolutionary and about the rights of disabled and handicapped folks needing a say in political areas that govern the needs of all that needs to be included in life, and to be able to do things normal folks do. Everyone needs to be free to live...
This is Super Duper & a must see for the whole family!. Sadly is 2020 & American citizens minorities are still fighting for liberation from bureaucratic institutionalized oppression, sad; SMH!
This is such a joyous, spirit raising movie. Yes, we still have problems with universal design and trying to make things accessible for all, but that's why we will keep fighting. However, a film with an Ed Roberts cameo, and then the Capitol Crawl - history!!
"The world always wants us dead. We live with that reality." Powerful words of a disability rights activist featured in this inspirational new film. Its time to get that cross-disability dialogue going again to end psychiatric force and coercion in the mental health system. Many people today are being institutionalized and forcibly medicated and/or shocked. Although, I applaud the Obama's for their support of this film, Justin Dart, father of the Americans with Disabilities Act would roll over in his grave, seeing regressive legislative called the 'Cures Bill' signed into law by former President Obama which had the effect of expanding the use of force and coercion in the US' mental health system. People with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities whose courageous work is featured in this film, please remember that many, many psychiatric survivors identify with a psych-social disability not a 'physical disability' or they identify with being physically or cognitively disabled by psychiatric harm and abuse (ie. harmed by drugging/shocking)
One of the great lessons of Crip Camp is that we should intentionally seek out the opinion of every marginalized person. The disability rights movement of the 1970s was not sufficiently mature to include people with mental disabilities. Rather I am disappointed that people with mental disabilities are now being actively silenced, not only by the mental health profession with its doctor-knows-best attitude, but also by the anti-psychiatry movement with its narrow predetermined agenda.
As a parent with a disabled child. Thank you to every single person that paved the way.
:-)

Right! Love their docs
Yup and now is a perfect time too
Finally
I’m saying tho

Things have changed over the years for sure. Stay positive and I wish you and your daughter good days together.
I have awesome respect for people like you.
Amen sister!🙏🙏
I believe our Lord and Saviour is watching out for us. God Bless you.

Me too!!

@@bee4590 Wow TIL! So cool, thanks for the info, had no idea about the medical part.
I will watch this for sure my son has CP. We can't forget about the people that have fought for disability rights.
Upvote this if you have a chronic condition or disabliity in 2020.
I was active during the late '60s and beyond, and am in the trailer at 1:20. Still short!! LOL

Along with Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States".
Idk if I wanna see this because I see myself crying out of elation, happiness, anger and sadness for its entire duration. 😭 Shout out to disabled and chronic illness peeps btw. (I have colitis)
You’d be about right, but you’ll it love it for sure
ohfr like I started crying fifteen minutes into this thing and didn't stop for it's entirety. It's amazing, a warm, loving hug for the soul.

Not everyone is born disabled! It can happen to anyone at anytime! Why don't people realize what can happen if they don't treat karma with love, respect, & kindness? With or without karma why are people so cruel & heartless?
Judith Heumann was on The Daily Show a few days ago! She was one of the disabled people who fought the government
This is so true!
The same applies for severe/intractable pain patients as well.
An accidemt can change your life in a split second and leave you in pain for the rest of your life.

HA! Me too!!!

Sadly, that's what I thought as well.

Ale H-V Because the disabled community is the forgotten “minority “. In my opinion.
This is an amazing documentary!!
This fires me up so much.
Because of the war on opioids, I'm one of millions of severe pain patients that have been forced to reduce, or stop, their pain meds.
I'm a "legacy" patient & despite my doctor's support and knowledge that I need them to function, I have been forced to lower my meds to a completely inadequate dose.
I am now forced to spend 95% of my time laying in bed.

That time is gone...there is no one-size-fits-all health care answer; whether it's pain meds or any other treatment option.
Watching this documentary, with tears of joy, sadness and understanding in my eyes throughout, I feel empowered and helpless at the same time.
I meet all the medical requirements for a home health aide, as well as access to a wheelchair, yet am denied both due to Worker's Compemsation restrictions and laws.
I hope some day soon the general public will come to understand severe pain patients (who are often disabled as well) deserve to have quality of life like anyone else.
This issue for is is not only one of Civil Rights, Human Rights as well.
Torturing people is supppsed to ne illegal, yet it's happening every day in America.
For those who will take the time to watch this documentary, maybe you'll be willing to search TH-cam for "The Other Side of the Opiate Crisis" or "The Chilling Effect" by Siobahn Reynolds to learn more about this latest inhumane disability issue.
Thank you Netflix for another incredible documentary.
I cried watching this. People can be so cruel.
This looks brilliant
I was browsing for gang documentaries and was brought here for some reason.
i was looking for cult docs and this came up 🤣
Just goes to show how disabled people are still being stigmatized, smh.
Most of us have someone in our lives that is disable inbound way or another. Judy, James, and the rest of you are our heros. You changed life for so many, and forever. Dede
Netflix has been going to a whole new level with movies such as this one, a very inspirational like movie that is a must watch.
This is amazing! How did I not know this history? Very powerful and a part of American history everyone should learn about in school. I plan to assign this to my graduate students ASAP.
Rest in Peace, Judith Heumann
This is a fantastic documentary. I lived through this time and I remember when people with disabilities had no rights whatsoever. This is an interesting, inspiring story told by the people who lived it!
This makes me so happy, we need more things like this out there
This movie is incredible. When my daughter was young she would refer to disabled people as 'handicapable' (instead of handicapped) because they are normal people who are capable, that sometimes need a hand.
Just watched it and loved it! I was in the mood for a good documentary with some heart and a great story of triumph to take my mind off current events! They are all great people in this movie!
This documentary is a must watch for many reasons but if I could pick just one, I would say: Judy Freaking Heumann! How have I never heard of this badass woman before? Her story needs to be taught in schools!
God bless these souls. They deserve peace and happiness. :)
Finally a documentary that exposes the honest reality of persons with disabilities. About time and well done!
Thank you Netflix and the Obama’s for producing a documentary that is so needed! As the parent of a son with limited expressive language due to autism, this makes me appreciative of the group of individuals fighting for their rights! So sad that people are looked at by their disabilities and not their capabilities! Thank you so much for bringing this to light and for those who paved the way for discrimination to not be tolerated for disabled individuals!!!
if you're on the fence about watching this, just watch it. you won't regret it. this movie is so empowering. i'm so grateful it was made.
This second trailer is even better.. really excited for this, can't wait
I didn't go to the camp, I wish I knew about it.
But when the got the law change about discrimination after I lost my job for getting ill;
Thank to them, I fought back with this law.
Loved this documentary. So powerful and moving. Thank you for producing this significant part of history!
My son has a physical disability. Watching this is a must!
I would to see a documentary on good stuff that black panthers did not bad stuff that they were branded for
They get a good shout out in the movie.
Such a great movie. So grateful for these folks!
Just finished watching this, i love it!
Great people with great minds a real revolution
As a sister to someone with severe special needs I thank every one who has allowed for him to continue receiving therapy. Thank You!
It's Way Past Time For Another Revolution! Bravo Netflix.
I LOVE this, can’t wait to see it!
Absolutely one of the best films on Netflix. Incredibly moving and inspirational.
I love the title. Worth the “click bait”. Netflix knows we need this kind of content to watch. They took Contagion off quick tho. It was eerily accurate to Ms.Rona V.
A brilliant story powerfully told. It seems incredible that just 50 years ago so few rights for people with different lived experiences of disability existed. THANK YOU to the real-life characters within this movie and the disability rights movement for forging such a strong community making more inclusive, valued, valuable and enriched lives possible for many. THANK YOU to the Obama's as producers, the Director and other creators who made this film so the story could be widely shared. It is powerful, engaging and positive. In a time of such social chaos, this story is a must watch! People from many backgrounds (PWD, outspoken counter-cultural media, political leaders, other civil rights leaders and communities) working together using their strength and abilities to make change that we all benefit from now as more people are enabled in our societies. Sadly still much work to go, but this period of change in the 1970s - 1990s can keep us motivated that change will come when we work together to remove structural and social barriers to us all contributing fully to society.
Exactly & It's Way Past Time For Another Revolution.
This is an incredible documentary.
I feel it's sad that NYC while still the greatest transport city in the world... has still few options for handicapped people on the subways in terms of getting down to the trains.
Mo Sho it’s a sin that in this day and age that is still a problem. Transportation means freedom! It’s a basic necessity. Disgusting ableism.
The defensive answer is always "Money!", but there is a new initiative to include more elevators in subway stops. Of course, Covid-19 has put a stop on everything. We need to still advocate at the tops of our lungs and not let the city, or ANY city, get away with it!
This is really wonderful..i studied the struggle behind ADS (american with disability Act)...this one ACt has broungt UNCRPD and other human rights for PWDs...it is amazing effort of humans for thr rights..
I don’t consider myself disabled, I hate the word. I applaud those that paved the way for me to have rights.
THIS IS SO DEEP 🥺😢💜
This is such a important film. Completely changed my perspective on Disability Rights.
Omg can't believe they're playing "Just like a Ship"!!!! by Pastor T.L. Barrett!
You know you're from the hood when you legit clicked on this thinking it was about the gang and are left saying "Oh not those crips. My bad" lmaoooo!
Ismael Hermosillo, Jr. 🤦🏾♀️
AMAZING!
These people, and the whole social movement has helped change a lot.
Although as said at the end, without a change in attitude, law's are just laws, and this is very true.
There is still some way to go, even now.
This was very insightful, heart warming and very well made.
Thank you
I’m so excited for this!
Best movie I've seen all year.
2020 and I still feel like people with disabilities are not fully members of our society. More education is needed, more action.
I can’t wait to see this!
Richie Havens' Freedom is classic!!!
Ohhh and produced by the Obamas😍😍😍. Knowing there is a time disabled people are not accepted as equal people represents a lack of love in society. A physically disabled child in a normal classroom brings pride among kids for knowing someone different. It helps them see beyond differences and pride in themselves to help another person even if it's just getting food in the lunch line. My girl is visibly different physically disabled. How she helps her class be generally good people with pride as they adore her is inspiring. She is a gift way beyond what would have been expected at her birth and if she had been born normal.
So cute can’t wait to watch so happy they signed the ada act !!
The amount of wisdom produced by these kids in a single camp is greater than what have been done on TikTok.
Simply Awesome!!Empowerment personified💖💖
Sassy_queen subscribe for me ❤️
Nice!! I just found this on one of my movie channels, and brought up its trailer so I could get a bigger idea what its about. After I saw what it was about, I knew my friend would really be interested in it as she was in a car wreak almost 20 years ago, when she was about 30 . And she is a paraplegic now and very head strong, so I knew the aspect of this movie being revolutionary and about the rights of disabled and handicapped folks needing a say in political areas that govern the needs of all that needs to be included in life, and to be able to do things normal folks do. Everyone needs to be free to live...
I thought this was about disabled CRIPS! ☺️ Can’t wait to watch!
This is Super Duper & a must see for the whole family!. Sadly is 2020 & American citizens minorities are still fighting for liberation from bureaucratic institutionalized oppression, sad; SMH!
This is such a joyous, spirit raising movie. Yes, we still have problems with universal design and trying to make things accessible for all, but that's why we will keep fighting. However, a film with an Ed Roberts cameo, and then the Capitol Crawl - history!!
Oh man I really want to see this
"The world always wants us dead. We live with that reality." Powerful words of a disability rights activist featured in this inspirational new film. Its time to get that cross-disability dialogue going again to end psychiatric force and coercion in the mental health system. Many people today are being institutionalized and forcibly medicated and/or shocked. Although, I applaud the Obama's for their support of this film, Justin Dart, father of the Americans with Disabilities Act would roll over in his grave, seeing regressive legislative called the 'Cures Bill' signed into law by former President Obama which had the effect of expanding the use of force and coercion in the US' mental health system. People with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities whose courageous work is featured in this film, please remember that many, many psychiatric survivors identify with a psych-social disability not a 'physical disability' or they identify with being physically or cognitively disabled by psychiatric harm and abuse (ie. harmed by drugging/shocking)
One of the great lessons of Crip Camp is that we should intentionally seek out the opinion of every marginalized person. The disability rights movement of the 1970s was not sufficiently mature to include people with mental disabilities. Rather I am disappointed that people with mental disabilities are now being actively silenced, not only by the mental health profession with its doctor-knows-best attitude, but also by the anti-psychiatry movement with its narrow predetermined agenda.
Rest in peace Judy Heumann
Netflix is the greatest thing to happen to TV since Coloured TV!
Brilliant documentary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m not gonna lie, saw this and thought this was a documentary about being a CRIP but was not disappointed 😂❤️💪🏼 disability strong!!
Descanse en paz Judy Heumann 🙏🏻
