Film Screening & Discussion Forum – Crip Camp: A Revolution for the Disabled
Crip Camp is an award-winning documentary at Sundance Festival and follows a group of young people with disabilities who meet at Camp Jened in the Catskills in the early 1970s. Their liberating experiences in a camp where they are fully involved and the fun they have together pave the way for their journey into adulthood and activism. Many of them remain friends and migrate to Berkeley, California, where they learn that through political participation, disruption, and civil disobedience they can create change. Groups like the Black Panthers, who are priceless, show solidarity.
Join the Red Film Club at Unite Union this Friday for a screening of snacks and soft drinks (BYOB allowed). The film is followed by a discussion forum on issues relating to the rights of people with disabilities.
The Red Film Club is a monthly left film screening and forum hosted by Socialist Aotearoa and Unite Union.
