Description

Film Fridays are back! 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.
