It’s amazing that I hadn’t learned about any of this. I’ve grown up in a world where the physically disabled have always had equal rights as anyone else. It made me angry at times seeing how politicians care more about money than human dignity and moral ethnics. It also really shows how hard it is to get stories out in the world pre-internet. The camp stuff all resonated with me. Even though it’s all black and white film from the 1960s, I know how all those cabins, dining halls, and woods smell. I’m a sucker for anything about camp since going to sleepaway camp was an important time in my life. I didn’t expect this to turn into a civil rights documentary, but it really was informative and it should be a part of school history curriculums.
