Netflix Wins Big With ‘Crip Camp,’ ‘John Was Trying To Contact Aliens’ At IDA Awards: Complete Winners List - Deadline

Crip Camp, the Netflix documentary about a unique summer camp for disabled kids and its role propelling the disability rights movement, won Best Feature at the International Documentary Association’s IDA Awards, in something of an upset.

The film directed by Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrecht (the latter attended the titular camp as a teen) also won the ABC News VideoSource Award, recognizing its skillful use of archival video from the 1970s to 1990s.

“I want to thank everybody at Camp Jened, the staff, the counselors and the campers,” said an emotional LeBrecht as he, Newnham and producer Sara Bolder accepted the award.

Going into the night, Amazon Studios’ Time was the favorite for Best Feature, having won a slew of pre-Oscar prizes, including the Gotham Award for Best Documentary (in a tie with A Thousand Cuts).

Bradley was named Best Director and she also earned the previously-announced Emerging Filmmaker Award.

In another victory for Netflix, the streamer’s short John Was Trying to Contact Aliens, won the IDA Award for Best Short.

The IDA Award for Best Music Documentary went to Universe, directed by Nicholas Capezzera and Sam Osborn, a film about an unrecorded piece of music by Miles Davis.

Among the show’s directors and executive producers is Sam Pollard, who received the IDA’s Career Achievement Award
