Free Screening: Oscar-Nominated ‘Crip Camp’ + Filmmaker Q&A (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the RENEGADE HUMANITIES COLLECTIVE as we kicks off a series of celebrated California documentary films supported by public funding. This free community screening will be followed by a conversation with filmmakers Nicole Newnham and Jim Lebrecht moderated by Niema Jordan of Cinemama.

CRIP CAMP: A Disability Revolution tells the story of a groundbreaking summer camp that galvanizes a group of teens with disabilities to help build a movement, forging a new path toward greater equality. It premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award, and was nominated for the Best Documentary Feature at the 2021 Academy Awards.

The March 14 event is the first in a series of celebrated California documentary films supported by critical — and threatened — public funding sources, such as the NEH, NEA, Center for Asian American Media (CAAM), Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB), and more. Help us launch this collaboration between libraries, documentarians and community-based organizations — and imagine other creative public programs we’ll dream up together.

All library locations and restrooms are accessible. Please contact the libraries with any questions or concerns about accessibility.
