Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
Director: James Lebrecht, Nicole Newnham
Film Screening/Online
A documentary following several young people who attended Camp Jened, a New York campground for people with disabilities. Radicalized by the compassion of their experiences, they become the activists that became integral in the disability rights movement. The documentary culminates with their participation in 1977’s 504 Sit -In, a protest that led to significant changes in the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, a precursor to the modern day Americans with Disabilities, but people without them, people who refuse to listen to those with disabilities or build a world that accommodates them, who turn blind eye to their abuse, or limit their opportunities. The revolution is for the abalist world the majority made, and it's cruel that changing it requires so much from those who are already vulnerable. 2020. 1 h 48 m. No post film discussion.

Cup of Culture
De Nadie (No One)
MCC Theater
This documentary interviews a number of Central Americans, who tell their stories of their first hand journeys through Mexico's 'Vertical Border' to get to the U.S. The four thousand kilometers that the migrants must travel through Mexico is where they risk their money, lives, and health. These are sad tales from those at the bottom of globalism's human barrel; these migrants have truly been reduced to 'de nadie,' 'no one.” Post film Q&A with the Undocumented Student Services program. (80 min, Spanish w/ English subtitles, 2005)
