Streaming juggernaut Netflix made waves at the recent Sundance Film Festival with its acquisition of the documentary “Crip Camp.” The film, which boasts Barack and Michelle Obama as executive producers, joins Netflix’s extensive roster of original content. “Crip Camp” tells the story of a camp for disabled teenagers that helped kickstart the disability rights movement in the 1970s.

With the backing of the Obamas, “Crip Camp” promise to shine a light on a pivotal piece of American history that is often overlooked. It celebrates the power of human resilience and the impact of grassroots activism on social change. This acquisition underscores Netflix’s commitment to sharing diverse, important stories with a global audience.

Netflix’s purchase of “Crip Camp” at Sundance is just another example of how the streaming giant continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and champion underrepresented voices. As they ramp up their original documentary lineup, Netflix remains a key player in the entertainment landscape, bringing captivating narratives to homes around the world.
