	Description:		Jim LeBrecht experienced four blissful and free summers during the 1970s at a place called Camp Jened. This was a progressive camp for disabled teenagers in the Catskill mountains of upstate New York that was filled with music, love and parties. It was a radical break from the way many of the kids there had been treated in the past and for many of the campers, including Jim, it transformed the way they approached their adult lives. Jim went on to become a sound recordist in California and has co-directed a film, with Nicole Newnham, about the camp and his happy memories there. The film is called Crip Camp and it was released on Netflix. Presenter and producer: Emily Webb. Picture: Camp Jened (Steve Honigsbaum). Credit: Netflix.
