but some were killed for the kid from basic beats and somebody said he probably was told to go for the kill switch the boy so. you can tell me how you go there i was i was there were times that. i would be picked to be on the t.v. back home if she knew who to do it to but. he really was and yeah we have to empower each other to blend allowing us to recognize that the status quo is not what it needed to be. that was a clip from the trailer for the oscars and no one them to documentary crip time through with the people involved in that documentary with us now hello. jim hello judy introduce yourself tell everybody who was over in the documentary just briefly and who you are if you need an introduction go ahead. hello everybody thank you for inviting me to be on the program my name is judy human i'm

a disability rights activist and i'm involved with the program because i was on the staff at hampton at that point and one of the people who had been in the development of the movement prior to the camp but after camp hello jim jim nice to see your connection with the film and who you are introduce yourself talk i wouldn't hire anybody to look wrecked well i went to camp jeanette and. it was an incredible experience of my life i've been working in the documentary world as a sound mixer and designer for a long time and. brought this story of coaching lead to the call medium in the hopes that she would make a documentary about captured lead and its connection to the disability rights movement. welcome to the streaming tell of what he was doing the connection to come

. you know i'm really happy to be here with everybody i'm a documentary filmmaker i have been for 25 years and jim has been a brilliant sound mixer and sound designer that i've worked with and when he brought me this story and started telling me about this you know hippie utopia that existed in which people were really treated equitably and there was like sex and drugs and rock a great time. and that that was connected somehow that kind of experience of liberation was really connected to the spark of the seeds of the disability rights movement i was so moved by the story and what i thought was really special about it was that it was jim's story and i asked him if he would co-direct the film with me and that's how i got involved. good move to have if you could describe. it in a sentence what would. jim freedom i think it's

a place that i found freedom limit their ability to be unabashed. myself so what would your sentence be about pants on at liberation a fight for equality and a recognition that we all had the ability and right to contribute something was very special was happening that in the 970 s. jim can you explain to us what was exceptional about this count the kids with disabilities. well i mean if it came to me it was really kind of a product of the times you know there was so many different liberation movements going on there and a war protests and we were all really kind of questioning authority and and you know the status quo and being somebody with a disability at that time. this was a place that was just so much different you know i i felt like i was really treated

as just a normal kid outside of really was i feeling that way but a carriage man is like i was just a teenager so it was a place where all of the kind of staring or or you know things that really made me feel like i was a burden just just melted away that little kid or the kerry had to see that ok right there that we just over that was done and 15 got up says a new very interesting activities have i won't spill the beans quite yet i don't want to have a conversation with him and getting in a car you can do via the right while in the ferry episode jumping to you can jump into the comments section and can be part of our discussion i want to go to. the seat of talks about why pants and that was so important at the time and really what that has done for other kids with disabilities and have a listen have a look. but i can't you know there were poured

a few young people in the wedding because they provided a base for them to come in and connect with others like them so especially at a time when most camps were in the or thankfully bernie right have a long way then and there are more opportunities for young people to grow that learn. from our program these. are important because they have been there that will bring about change and create more get. the shooters from the american association of people with disabilities did you feel duty at the time that you were somewhere exceptional and the people who are understanding how do you relate and connect with people with disabilities that doesn't exclude them from everyday life i mean i think what camp with able to

do for us is that everybody's been saying it allowed us to recognise that we were human beings and it gave us a space where we were able to speak about our dreams and that only about our dreams but we were also able to speak about our concerns about being able to achieve what we wanted to do in life because of all the barriers because of lack of representation of disabled people in the media and it was that it was a space where we could plan and we practiced how to use our voice and how to give each other. optimistic feelings that in unity would have strength and as jimmy with saying it also enabled us because television in the 1960 s. was bringing a new world it was the civil rights movement the women's rights movement the

antiwar movement and while many of us weren't able to actively participate in various reasons that was the model that we were looking at how you do so as they go into some very interesting in the film and that connects the experience of time to border disability rights movement and other movements in the 1970 s. i'm going to play a little bit of a clip this is from a rally demonstration in new york city with people with disabilities have a look in the call i want you to explain why you made those connections let's take a look. at demonstration in new york city. we decided that we were going to sit down in the street we were going to stop traffic so it for 30 in the afternoon we want to circle with kind of laugh or street. get the call to action to the barricades you know judy because.

i remember being on the ground with these big trucks coming to. work. is a very unusual demonstration people are not used to seeing a whole lot of folks in wheelchairs and you had to back up i mean you had to back up if you were on the wrong side from it that you are. this is a brick a story will tell in the car why. i think 11 of the things that was so exciting to us was cause to show how camp jeannette you know these young people discovered their kind of common experience of oppression and believed that they could do something about it together but across disability there is so much diversity and i think judy and other leaders at the time recognized that that was kind of a superpower you know because it it's so many different movements so many different liberation movements were part of the disability movement and so in berkeley as

they started organizing and demonstrating you know there were gay the table people and there were black disabled people and there were black panthers who were disabled all of those people were kind of coming together and looking at disability rights and when there was this sort of epic sit in that we feature in the film and in in $77.00 there were members of all those groups inside the building and so it wasn't so much you know jim and i deciding to broaden it out but the kind of brilliant strategy that they laid out at the time which was like let's bring all these movements together so i think for us you know the idea of the black panthers for example you know deciding to bring food and supporting this. you know long takeover of a federal building which resulted in some very critical disability civil rights legislation like that's because they realize that you know. it was a better world that disabled activists were fighting for was this and that kind of

civil rights and and liberation was the same thing they were fighting for and that everybody was in it together and i think jim and i felt very very passionately about the fact that that's a really important message for today you know it's a model for organizing that is really powerful. i think it's also really important to understand that camp's net was a pivotal place but the reality was there were organizations like in new york where most of the people who were part of these groups never went to camps or net an organization called the stable to mansion and pride and now there's that were also being driven by college campuses where disabled people were also organizing and so i think it was many different things happening at the same time and again one of the reasons why the disability community was reaching out to other organizations was the model that we were seeing with the civil rights movement with the women's

movement with the anti-war movement with they were reaching out to other people now let's be really clear you know the reason the black panthers got involved was because one of their founding members had multiple sclerosis so he was credible and they joined him many other organizations you know they didn't understand disability they didn't understand it rights based movement so that with a lot of work on the ground going on for years working with other organizations in a way where we came and said would you help us and we will help you so it wasn't one way when things were going on a city level or the county level we were there for each other in many different ways and we were building a coalition that for example when the demonstrations occurred in 1977 there were many years of collaboration that had been going on in the berkeley bay area. i'm going to bring in this thought here this so many compliments about crip camp. it's

an you can see here this is the web page go look at this oscar nominated documentary feature lots of comments lots of feedback and then this comment that we got a little bit earlier this gave me pause because i did see the intersectionality in the film when i watched kate was asking for more have a listen have a look. i thought the critic can't could have utilized histories and stories in direct narrative black people and people of color i thought that critic camp really needed so more perspective on how racial justice also informed their disability rights remark if felt very white and. really interested in how crypt can call elaborated more on other experiences as it was shaping not just can't deny later disabled policy given the car i'm going to give this to both of you to new

start. i think that. one of the things that we really try to do with our film was to leverage an entire campaign which we gave it into the hands of people who are deeply seated in the disability justice movement which is really look at disability rights through the lens of people who are by part. of g b t q in that. really trying to take the visibility that we were getting making sure that that movement. could be really heard. the cocoa has pink yeah i mean i think that there is like a. there is a point of view that we chose to take in and crip camp which is that we wanted to tell the story from the perspective of this group of friends who came together

camped in that and that's certainly not reflective of the entire movement and it certainly just kind of one story i have disability history and so we tried really hard to give to give a sense of the intersection ality that was in the film which which you were talking about and we felt it was important to really highlight that and to profile activists who had played a critical role in the particular story we were telling who had not been profiled but i think by virtue of the fact that we chose to focus on this particular band of friends and see the story through their eyes and that was partly because you know week there was this coalition of people that could come together and tell the story in the film and we could follow them throughout time and we had this incredible archival footage of them by that because of that it is not. you know it's not an overview of the entire history of the movement it's a very particular frame and we hope that that university of camp and the teenage

experience would draw on viewers who might not otherwise have access to this history and that the that the platform that kripke camp had could hopefully lead and in partnership with the impact campaign jim was describing could really lead to other stories being told but i think that that comment is very valid in a sense that there's a lot more of this story and a lot more to be explored and many other stories that that should be told what i think this is a very important question. and if everybody said totally appropriate question i think what's really important is we're so used to not saying that you meant treat on disability that jimmy and nicole produced. an amazing film and it tells the enemy easing story the bisham abbey the end of the stories that are being told and so i think when we look in the next 5 to 10 is me the next 5 to 10 years we should be seeing other films documentaries and other you know films and

television programs etc that really continue to reflect the changes that have been going on in the movement so for example the issues of race are critically important and l.g.b. t.q. a very important but also what's important are people with mental health disability and people with intellectual disabilities at that point in time at camp to ned those the population of those people with disabilities were not a part of what was happening but now when we look at 2021 things that really exploded across racial lines crossed sexual orientation disability and then the scotians are becoming much more complex and serious and really delving deeper and deeper into what injustice is and what we need to be doing and what we need to be learning about how people are moving forward i want to show a couple of pictures because what you do jim in the color you bust you break down

stereotypes you explode them in an hour and 48 minutes so there is love there's lost there's. i mean look here oh. my laptop here there's also which is really revealing jim a hierarchy of how people with disabilities see disability so do you want to share that hierarchy as we go for some of these fantastic there was from from the documentary at the top of the hierarchy and i believe this is slightly tongue in cheek well what disability because these are only things that people disabilities would say to themselves. well in in the field today's who you see your cutouts with is higher. and and that she felt like people with polio were at the top of the hierarchy and folks like yourself who have serval palsy. were 'd much much lower. and you know i i don't disagree with her having this

feeling i assumed he would spinal bifida. you know i i didn't really think about that too much maybe that's because i was higher up on the hierarchy but you know i think every community has something like this dotted and it's in a reference kind of dark humor that you can share amongst yourselves that you give us a little window inside if we are non disabled and also allow people who have to civilities to recognize it as well i gave you a very tough comment to come with the back of jim and the cal going to hear much easier one this time this one is from madison this is what she told us a lot of have a listen have. my older brother daniel had cerebral palsy and spent most of his life in the house and even as a young child i knew that there was a more fulfilling life out there for him they could be essentially doing the same things that i do and watching her camp was very powerful and moving to me saying that before he was even born there was already

a sense of community out there for him there was changes already being made and that that life could have been his and although i'm sad that he did not get to experience a crew can't makes me so thankful that other people did get to the car go ahead. i mean i think that's really beautiful and i really love the idea of the valuing community you know i think that for us we had the word community taped to the wall of our in that room and we thought about it all the time as kind of the core of what this is about this idea that there is community across all of our diversity and difference of disability and part of the power of that is that as you know one of the activists says in the film you if you're you know in using a wheelchair you don't know necessarily what it's like to be blind so you're going to listen to someone and when they tell you what their truth is you're going to see it and believe and trust them about their experience and fight for them the way

they're fighting for you you know and i think that's that's so beautiful to to recognize and value the importance of that and we really hope that this film would be an on ramps so to speak for lots of people to be able to find community and in disability community and also to be able to feel proud. and see the value in a den of fighting as disabled which sometimes i think people are afraid that there might be a cost to identifying as disabled but the more the movement grows and the more people see the real value and in that community i think more people can find their way to it and benefit from it if i may judy i want to just tap into expertise as to the disability rights activists and expert this is bengal dragon who brings us way up to date right now the recent statistics for people with disabilities is a very sad reflection of the fadia of overall for equality for disabled people movement immediate restructuring is required basically where we now.

so we're talking about the world where talking about a more organized group of disabled people basically in every country when you think back 304050 years the international movement was really just emerging in the united states we've seen 50 years that where organizing and many laws being passed that really mehr the lock laws like the civil rights act of the 1964 and other pieces of legislation where we are today is with that international movement that looks at something called the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities where more than $175.00 countries have ratified meaning $175.00 governments have agreed that they will develop law and implement laws that will enable disable people to go to school get jobs make transportation

excessive bell housing employment opportunities etc but we're also in a serious situation where disability is still a very marginalized community i mean we're talking about wonderful thing that have been happening but the reality of the situation is disabled people are probably one of the most marginalized groups and then add other aspect disability race poverty gender etc that makes life more and more difficult so i think where we need to be is much more unification not just within the disability community but within their rights and justice movements around the world to understand that if a non disabled woman is raped she likely has a disability that the women's movement needs to be looking at issues of violence against women with disabilities and women who acquire disability as an example that's the same thing in the environment etc. thank you i have to show you a few

a few of which is this is judy is a little one right. because this is her as a little bigger one as an activist and this is a right here she's still and she's still being activists right here on the screen let me just embarrass jim because that's equal opportunities here this is jim as a youngster back here is the crowd can website and then here right here is quick to the virtual web site and then right here currently streaming on netflix create a disability revolution judy jim the co-op i could speak to you for a couple of hours but i only have a couple of seconds left to say thank you so much for being on the story really appreciate and i will see you next time for me ok. thanks watching everybody.
