Film Fridays: Crip Camp

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm in the Community Room, Lower Level
Our Indie/Foreign Film Fridays are back with small changes. Registration is required and we are only filling 50% capacity. Films are still free and fabulous!

FROM the USA: In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp in the Catskills, was their freewheeling Utopia where they enjoyed full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated West to Berkeley, California — a hotbed of activism where they realized that disruption, civil disobedience, and political participation could change the future for millions. As entertaining as it is inspiring, this documentary uses one group's remarkable story to highlight hope for the future and the power of community. Don’t miss this important and uplifting film. Registration begins March 1. Sponsored by Bill and Jane Murray.

Join us for our film discussions! Much like a book group, you will watch the film then if you like, join us for a moderated discussion at 3:45 pm. Watch the film at the library at 2 pm or watch it on your own. You must have watched the film to participate in the discussion. No registration for discussion.
