Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back(1995)
DIR. DAVID T. MITCHELL & SHARON L. SNYDER
48 MIN
A pioneering record of disability culture caught in the act of forming. Shot at a national conference on Disability and the Arts, it captures the performances, debates, and late-night conversations of activists and artists including Cheryl Marie Wade, Mary Duffy, and Harlan Hahn. One of the earliest films to treat crip culture as culture, by two scholars who went on to shape disability studies. Important historical viewing.
