Crip Camp review: Obamas' follow-up to American Factory on Netflix is part-inspirational, part-inconsistent
FirstpostThe bridge established between the ‘Crip Camp’ and the Civil Rights Movement for the differently abled is too wobbly to be enjoyed as a beautiful journey. Language: English After their debut Netflix production, American Factory, won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature earlier this year, author Michelle Obama and former US President Barack Obama present yet another documentary on the streaming platform, Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. The documentary dates back to the 1950s, when a summer camp organised by the ‘hippies’ saw a bunch of differently abled American citizens congregated in an environment that embraced them for who they are. One of them mentions how a lift attendant angrily instructs the support staff to ‘get these wheelchairs in’ whenever a group of differently abled people wait to enter the elevator.
