The Human Rights Commission (HRC) and Ageing and Disability Services (ADS) invite the public to a free community screening of the award-winning documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution on Sunday, 14 December 2025, at 2:30 pm in the Butterfield and Vallis Room at Bermuda College.

Minister of Youth, Social Development and Seniors, the Hon. Tinee Furbert, JP, MP, encouraged broad participation and highlighted the film’s significance: "Crip Camp reminds us that progress in disability rights has always been driven by people coming together to demand equity, dignity and respect. As Bermuda continues its work towards full inclusion, events such as this help us learn from global movements while reflecting on the changes still needed at home. I encourage everyone to attend and be part of this important conversation."

This special screening marks the International Day for Persons with Disabilities (December 3) and Human Rights Day (December 10) and celebrates the courage, activism and sense of community that have shaped the global disability rights movement. Crip Camp tells the powerful story of a groundbreaking summer camp whose campers helped ignite a disability rights revolution in the United States, using humour, heart and extensive archival footage to illustrate the transformative impact of collective advocacy.

Lisa Reed, Executive Officer of the Human Rights Commission, emphasised the importance of community action, stating, "Disability inclusion cannot be achieved by policy alone. The Commission’s Disability Inclusion report details recommendations from the public and reinforces that our shared commitment is essential. This screening invites us to reflect on the power of collective action and the role we each have to play in creating a Bermuda where every person can participate fully, freely and with dignity."

All are welcome to attend. The Butterfield and Vallis Room is accessible to wheelchair users and individuals using mobility aids. Accessible restrooms are available. Parking Lot F, located just past the gym on College Road, is the closest parking area, with a designated drop-off zone situated just beyond it. The room is accessible from all parking areas on campus. Closed captions and subtitles (CC/SubT) will be provided.
