While Crip Camp is not a perfect effort, its honesty about its participants and their world gives it an undeniable potency right to the last moment.

At times it feels like Crip Camp bites off slightly too much for a movie that's less than two hours long. But I can't really blame the directors for cramming in as much information as they can.

You will tear up watching the marchers climb out of their wheelchairs and crawl up the steps of the U.S. Capitol. "I don't care if it takes me all day," a courageous child shouts as he climbs one step at a time like a real-life "Rocky."
