We're marking National Disability Employment Awareness Month with a conversation with James LeBrecht and Day Al-Mohamed—two founding members of FWD-Doc-- a global, intersectional community of disabled creators and allies working in media to build a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable entertainment industry that cultivates and champions disabled media-makers, and elevates stories by, for, and about people with disabilities.   James LeBrecht is a film and theater sound designer and mixer, author, disability rights activist, and filmmaker who with Nicole Newnham produced and directed  Crip Camp-the story of Camp Jened which ignited a community of people with disabilities to fight for their rights. Day Al-Mohamed  is an author, filmmaker, disability policy strategist, and a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.  The Invalid Corps, a documentary about disabled veterans' contributions during the Civil War, was her first documentary as a blind filmmaker. In this podcast, Jim and Day detail the mission of FWD-Doc and the issues that it is addressing: the lack of access and opportunity for people with disabilities in filmmaking, and the dearth of stories by and for people with disabilities. They discuss the many resources they offer on their website including their robust “Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility: Changing the Narrative of Disability in Documentary Film,” and their partnership with the International Documentary Association to establish the Nonfiction Access Initiative (NAI),  a fund for nonfiction storytellers and media makers from the disability community. Al-Mohamed and LeBrecht also talk about their career trajectories, the difference between compliance and best practices,  and the need for access to be recognized as essential to diversity.

It was summertime in the early 1970s in New York City. Fifteen-year-old Jim LeBrecht boarded a school bus headed for the Catskill Mountains, home to Camp Jened, a summer camp for people with disabilities. As the bus approached the camp, he peered out the window at the warm and raucous group below."I wasn't exactly sure who was a camper and who was a counselor," he said. "I think that's really indicative of one of the many things that made that camp special."Over several years, the camp changed him in profound ways."I, for the first time, understood that I didn't need to be embarrassed about being disabled, that I could have pride in who I was," he said. "And that it was possible to fight back against the system that was keeping us down."Nearly five decades later, in 2020, LeBrecht and filmmaker Nicole Newnham released on Netflix the documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, about Camp Jened and the activism it inspired. "What did we used to say, it was like Wet Hot American Summer meets The Times of Harvey Milk?" said Newnham. "It's an activist history story. It's the origin story of a political and identity-based community, the disability community. But it's also a coming-of-age story and a joyous sort of celebration of youth and disability culture coming together." All incoming undergraduate students at UC Berkeley watched Crip Camp over the summer as part of On the Same Page, a program of the College of Letters and Science. "We had a couple of goals with our film," said LeBrecht. "One of them was to reframe what disability meant to people with and without disabilities. We also wanted to start conversations. I hope that this plants a seed within all of these students that they do talk, they do think differently, and that this is something they hold for the rest of their lives that will make the world a better place."Photo by Steve Honigsbaum/Netflix.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Listen to the episode, read the transcript and see photos on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu).

First:  Imagine driving a 60-foot, 21-ton vehicle through the crowded, energetic streets of San Francisco on a daily basis. Next:  Imagine doing it while stuttering every time you speak. This is the daily life of Dustin Wells. Dustin Wells describes himself as a happy man. Did you imagine that? Hear more about Dustin's years of silence and shame, and the support and philosophy that has moved him beyond all that. ———— We proudly air another episode of the podcast, “Proud Stutter” produced and hosted by Maya Chupkov. Quinn Greenhaus and Kristin Evans helped produce the Proud Stutter audio.  Adrienne Lauby hosts for Pushing Limits.       Judith Lesner On Wednesday, August 30th we lost one the most dedicated allies of the disability rights movement. Judith Lesner worked at Camp Jened (also known as Crip Camp) while in college and was outside the history-making Section 504 Sit In of the San Francisco Federal Building in 1977.  Throughout her life, Judith Lesner worked tirelessly to educate people about the importance of disability inclusion.  In later years she taught workshops to thousands of parents about how to advocate for their children's rights in school settings. Her biggest desire was to see other movements for social justice working in coalition with the disability rights movement. “Where are the people with disabilities?”, she would often ask while attending an anti-war or women's rights protest in the Bay Area.  She emailed countless lefty activists to ask them why didn't mention disability in their book or rally speech. She often said that every other group under the sun got mentioned except people with disabilities. To pay tribute to Judith Lesner, please keep pointing out those in the movement who claim to be for social justice but never talk about disability.  As she would say, if you don't have any disability politics, it's never too late to learn.  Please pick up a book by Alice Wong, Leroy Moore, or watch the movie Crip Camp.  If you don't, an old Jewish lady will come down from heaven and speak severely to you. Here's to Judith Lesner and the eventual fall of capitalism and the liberation of all including those with disabilities. Judith Lesner's political history.

Activism for Disabilty Rights. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and George Casen. This documentary relates the history of the disability rights movement in the US, beginning in 1971 with the experiences of disabled teenagers at Camp Jened, a summer camp established for them in New York State. The connections these previously isolated individuals made there with each other led to political activism to fight for their collective rights. This activism eventually led to the signing of the American With Disabilities Act (ADA) by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. Barack and Michelle Obama were the Executive Producers of this documentary.

Crip Camp is a Peabody Award-winning documentary from Netflix and Higher Ground Productions that tells the story of Camp Jened, a summer camp in the 1960s where disabled youth could be themselves. The film follows several former campers who went on to be leaders of the Disability Rights Movement. Laura speaks with the directors and producers of Crip Camp about how they are using the film to advance the next step in the revolution: Disability Justice, a movement that centers the leadership of disabled queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color. If the inclusive culture of Camp Jened could help transform American society in the second half of the 20th century, what could a truly intersectional Disability Justice Movement change for us all today? Plus thoughts from Laura on interdependence.  (note: legacy show, repost)Guests:Andraéa LaVant, Impact Producer & President, Chief Inclusion Officer of LaVant Consulting Inc.Jim LeBrecht, Co-Director Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, Peabody Winner & Oscar Nominated Film, Co-Director of Crip CampNicole Newnham, Co-Director Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, Peabody Winner & Oscar Nominated Film,  Co-Director of Crip Camp We do not accept advertisements or government funding.  We are independent movement media for the people, and funded by the people!  Become a member by making a one time donation or make it a monthly contribution at https://LauraFlanders.org/donate

"I hear about a summer camp for the handicapped run by hippies. Somebody said you probably will smoke dope with the counselors, and I'm like...sign me up!" Click here for a full episode transcript In today's episode we look at the 2020 documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which tells the story of a remarkable summer camp for teens with disabilities called Camp Jened that operated in New York State in the 70s. The film contains footage of the camp, and we get to know several of the campers, and then we follow them and see what they did in the decades following—and it is remarkable. The film has tons of info on disability advocacy and the history of people with disabilities fighting for fair treatment, and it makes a strong case that this fight is far from over. It's also incredibly entertaining, funny, and endearing as we witness the relationships between several of the campers and where those go over the years. My guest today is Kerri Michael. Kerri does a lot of things, she works for a film organization called Made in Arkansas, she's a yoga instructor, and a movie nerd like myself. She also works for Disability Rights Arkansas so I immediately thought of her when I watched this movie, and I knew she'd be a good person to have on the show with her combination of disability knowledge and cinema love.

Även om tanken på sommar och invalidläger kan tyckas långt borta nu i coronatider är det precis just det vi snackar om i avsnitt fyra av Full rulle. Vi åker - via Netflixdokumentären med samma namn som detta avsnitt - tillbaka till 1970-talets USA och till Camp Jened; ett hippie-funkisläger som kom att bli själva grundstenen i Independent Living-rörelsen och USA:s funkispolitik. Vi snackar aktivism och om den legendariska Judy Heumann. Dessutom tittar vi närmare på konstiga vanor som normater ägnar dagarna åt.Producerat av Emma Åstrand och Tobias Holmberg.

Hosted by Antonio Vieira Santos, Debra Ruh and Neil Milliken Judith Ellen Heumann "Judy" (born December 18, 1947) is an American disability rights activist. She is recognized internationally as a leader in the disability community. Heumann is a lifelong civil rights advocate for people with disabilities. Her work with governments and non-governmental organizations, non-profits, and various other disability interest groups, has produced significant contributions since the 1970s to the development of human rights legislation and policies benefiting children and adults with disabilities. Through her work in the World Bank and the State Department, Heumann led the mainstreaming of disability rights into international development. Her contributions extended the international reach of the independent living movementHeumann's commitment to disability rights stems from her personal experiences. She had polio at the age of 18 months and has used a wheelchair for most of her life. Heumann had to fight repeatedly to be included in the educational system. The local public school refused to allow her to attend, calling her a fire hazard. Instead, for three years she was given home instruction twice a week for about an hour each visit. Heumann's mother, Ilsa Heumann, a community activist in her own right, challenged the decision. Judy was then allowed to go to a special school in the fourth grade for disabled children. Per city policy, it was understood Judy would return to home instruction for high school. Judy's mother rallied against this policy with other parents who put enough pressure on the school to reverse the policy. Judy entered high school in 1961.She attended Camp Jened, a camp for kids with disabilities, in Hunter, New York every summer from ages 9 to 18. Heumann's experience of camp brought her a greater awareness of the connected of disabled experience "We had the same joy together, the same anger over the way we were treated and the same frustrations at opportunities we didn't have."[2] It was there that she met Bobbi Linn and Freida Tankus, who she would later work with as disability rights activists.[3][4For more than 40 years, Judy has been involved on the international front working with disabled people's organizations and governments around the world to advance the human rights of disabled people. She is a frequent lecturer at universities and conferences and recently did a TED x talk in the US.

Exclusive Interview with Mick Rosenthal and the "gorgeous," ladies of CD. (Mick's words, thanks Mick) Original Air Date: 2/8/2020 Award-winning NETFLIX documentary puts people with disabilities on the silver screen at Sundance My first time at the Sundance Film Festival was very memorable. A great documentary called CRIP CAMP opened the festival. The film features a camp in upper New York State called Camp Jened. Long lost to the dustbin of our collective 1950s, 1960s and 1970s history, Camp Jened was a camp for people with disabilities. Now, you'll be able to experience the impact of Camp Jened when CRIP CAMP premieres on Netflix in mid-March. The film should also have a limited theatrical release. I got the opportunity to attend Sundance and see CRIP CAMP because, my parnts, who are a filmmaker and former actress turned political and environmental activist, invested in the film. The documentary looks at Camp Jened and its participants, who helped start the Disability Rights Movement, part the larger Civil Rights Movement. The film underscores an important idea that: · disabilities do not discriminate · a disability doesn't care what skin color you have · a disability doesn't care who you voted for, nor who you love · a disability doesn't care what language you speak I am physically disabled with Cerebral Palsy and have been working on a long-term project regarding disabilities and voting rights. The fight for inclusion continues today, as there are still very few people with disabilities serving in Congress. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the protections guaranteed to people with disabilities, was passed in 1990 with bipartisan support from both houses of Congress. In this new century, there are still very few serving in Congress who have the abilities to make laws to protect our lives as people with disabilities. It seems that the protections afforded to us are slowly, and quietly, getting rolled back.
