Mitchell tells a story that needs to be told and demands the audience to never avert their gaze. Go to Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Jan 29
part family road trip, part analysis of memorial spaces, part activist work for accessibility for disabled people in public spaces, and part chronicle of the Nazi’s secret extermination of disabled people program, Aktion T4. Go to Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Dec 26
4/5
Cameron S. Mitchell's message of advocacy builds to a summary quote that uplifts the need to share stories, lessons and empathy and prevent any such darkness from again descending on the world in the destructive manner as it did 86 years ago. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Nov 6
Horrific, informative, and oddly cathartic, this documentary unfolds the horrible truths that have been long buried in German history. Go to Full Review Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) 03/07/2025
I know that Disposable Humanity is about the hidden story of how the Nazis tortured, and killed the disabled people as a precursor to the Holocaust. Watching it from Trump’s America lends the documentary a horror edge that only comes from current events. Go to Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg ScreenAnarchy 03/06/2025
4/5
Mitchell crafts a strong story, harrowing in its history and contemporary implications, at once a kind of grassroots advocacy for forgotten voices, a study in how history is shaped and presented. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
