The Seattle Cultural Accessibility Consortium, Town Hall, and Seattle International Film Festival are thrilled to co-present a free screening of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, followed by a Q&A moderated by Michael Greer, President and CEO of ArtsFund with the film’s co-director, James LeBrecht. This special event celebrates the 33rd anniversary of the ADA and honors Judy Heumann (1947-2023), a prominent disability rights activist who worked in the Clinton and Obama administrations and is widely regarded as “the mother” of the Disability Rights Movement.
On the heels of Woodstock, a group of teen campers are inspired to join the fight for disability civil rights. This spirited look at grassroots activism is a Netflix documentary, executive produced by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Crip Camp won the Audience Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival
Live Captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided at this event. The Wyncote NW Forum is an accessible space with at-grade entrances and accessible restrooms.
