IDA Documentary Awards: “Crip Camp,” “Time,” and More

"Crip Camp": Netflix

“Crip Camp” took home the top honor at last night’s IDA Documentary Awards. Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrech’s loving tribute to a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities that helped spark a revolution was named Best Feature. The doc also received the ABC News Videosource Award, which is given each year for “the best use of news footage as an integral component in a documentary,” the IDA explains.

Garrett Bradley won the Best Director award for “Time,” her portrait of a modern-day abolitionist’s decades-long fight to secure her husband’s release from prison. Bradley scored the Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award as well.

The Best Writing honor went to Kirsten Johnson and Nels Bangerter for “Dick Johnson Is Dead,” Johnson’s tribute to her ailing father that sees her staging his death and recording it.

“My Octopus Teacher” snagged the Pare Lorentz Award, which “recognizes films that demonstrate exemplary filmmaking while focusing on the appropriate use of the natural environment, justice for all, and the illumination of pressing social problems.” Pippa Ehrlich’s doc celebrates a friendship between a human being and an octopus.
