Act 1 - 8.1
Act 2 - 8.4
Act 3 - 9.4
This is a life changing moment in American history that I am glad to have learned about
Presented perfectly through archive footage at the camp by some of the campers and photos and news coverage
Film opens by introducing us to the campers and counselors at Camp Jened
We learn about the impact of the camp on everyone and the bonds that were formed
Camp gave these kids a platform to belong and express themselves and gain confidence to use in the real world
Judy took the inclusive philosophy and and used it to lead protests in NY, LA and DC to fight for the rights of disabled individuals
Shows the incredible lengths that were taken to fight for their rights and the significance of their moments of triumph
Film is very emotional and hit me very hard
A beautiful film that teaches acceptance and shows that anybody can do anything
Camp Jened really did help change the world and got laws paced in the American government to make the world a better place
A must watch to learn, experience and feel
60's kids being sent to institutions with disabilities
Summer camp run by hippies for kids with disabilities, changed lives
Camp near Woodstock in NY
Camp Jened
Great footage from the camp
Camp evolved from 50's to 60's to 70's to let kids be kids in the time and explore their freedom and coward way of thinking
Footage from one of the campers
About the counselor and the kids and the bonds
Free flowing place
Kids weren't integrated in normal classes and were put in special classes
About acceptance and understanding
Does focus on the kid who filmed a lot of the stuff
Romances bloomed
Current interviews looking at the past
Crab outbreak
Kids are pretty funny too, real personalities
Awesome community that built
Disability act wasn't passed yet and could keep out people because of it
Kids express their feelings and are open about them, no judgement
Sad when the summer camp would end and they had to leave their utopia to go back to the judgmental real world
Hard going back to the real world that is against them
One of the handicapped counselors gets news time for her political group to try and improve their lives
Judy started the group to try and help others
In NY see a piece on the terrible treatment of disabled kids in a hospital that is understaffed, horrible, heart breaking
The disabled institutions are truly heart breaking to see the mistreatment
Rehabilitation act of 72, section 504 an anti discrimination law against anybody, Nixon vetoed it because of cost
Disabled Inaction led by Judy started a protest in NY cutting off streets, awesome
All while Vietnam is going on so not much cover on them as all media is focused on the war
Protests are beautiful, fighting for equal treatment
Nixon signs the rehab bill but don't enforce section 504 which is supposed to help them
So many awesome stories and people connected to this camp and the Revolution
Berkeley became a great place for people from Jened, great place for disabled people
CIL in Berkeley was a new great place to help disabled people, the camp basically reunited there
Just wanted to live normal lives and got that opportunity in Berkeley
In 77 still fighting for section 504 with more protests
People didn't want to pay the money to make buildings accessible
Sustain a demonstration in the HEW headquarters to try and get their rights even though they try to force them out
Black Panthers helped with their protest because they are fighting for the same thing
Another reunion of people from Jened fighting for change
Judy made sure everybody was heard, great leader
Local media ignored the event except for one reporter who actually cared, helped get the word out there
Same fight as Brown vs Board of Education, just want to be equal
Emotional fight
Judy gives an amazing speech
Day 15 some leave the protest to go try and see the president, lead by Judy
FBI continues to mess with people protesting in San Fran 22 days
Awesome archive footage and photos
Paints a picture of the story beautifully
ABC finally shows the footage of the protests, national coverage now
Day 24 the regulations were signed, national coverage made the change
No fan gate but got the job done that would change their lives
Let handicapped people into public schools
Made the US government sign in a law, incredible
Federally funded places must be wheelchair friendly, so insane they changed the world
Had to fight Regan administration years later to make sure the rules were enforced, only made federally funded building follow the rules
Fight continues
Try to get a bill into congress to cover everywhere and everyone 1990
Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 passed by George HW Bush after more fighting
Everyone now equal under law it still need society to be accepting
Go back to the site of the camp that changed the world
51-77 the camp was open
Everyone goes back and sees each other
Larry Allison creates the amazing camp
Judy worked with the government to keep things goin and advancing for others
