They wouldn’t answer Judy Heumann’s phone calls, so she took over their building. In 1977, a young disabled woman (Ruth Madeley) and a scrappy coalition of outsiders decide that enough is enough. What started as an impulsive act became the longest-running occupation of a federal building in American history.
