Synopsis

With raw, emotional footage and in-depth interviews with whistleblowers, professors, and the central organizers, The Encampments tells the full story of the Columbia encampment and the global movement it spawned. The film chronicles the protest’s escalation from Columbia’s administration banning student organizations for Palestine to the mass arrests that broke a 50-year police ban on campus.
