The Encampments

These students, especially Columbia students, are going down in history as heroes. They already are heroes, there is no group of humans I respect more than these youth. This film will give you a glimpse of just how much power Israel has over American politics, it's actually terrifying. If this movie doesn't prove we're under foreign occupation I don't know what does. It also does an excellent job at humanizing not only Palestinians but these beautiful students that the media tried to demonize. Those paying attention will not know to never believe mainstream media again.

The only thing i wished it included was the Columbia boycotts against apartheid South Africa. A must watch!

This is undoubtedly the most valuable watch of my lifetime. It is captivating from start to finish. Despite the attempts to diminish screen time, it demands to be witnessed. This documentary directly challenges the rhetoric that the media imposed on those engaging in their rights to protest peacefully, all while further informing supporters of the movements across the world.

The entire theatre sobbed from start to finish, all of us left slowly with puffy eyes. This is moving, heartbreaking, enraging - you can't finish this without feeling a demand to be more involved and more informed. I hope that it continues to get the screen time it truly deserves.

I will be recommending this to everyone as a must watch film.

"Encampments" is a powerful, thoughtful, and necessary documentary that demands to be seen. It offers a clear and compelling look at the courage of students standing up for justice, and the institutional forces working to silence them. The film clearly highlights the tension between the freedoms this country was built on and the reality of how those freedoms are challenged today.

Well-researched, emotionally resonant, and carefully constructed, this documentary does more than document a moment, it captures a movement. It reminds us that the right to speak out is not just theoretical; it's lived, defended, and, frequently punished.

This film is essential viewing for anyone who cares about civil liberties, protest, and the true meaning of democracy. It's not just informative, it's a wake-up call.

The students always lead the way. Will we be brave enough to follow their example? We must, or any of us can be the next person to be disappeared by our government for voicing dissent.

The Encampments is one of the most vitally important docs I can remember. Citizens of America (and the world) must watch this to see what our universities, police and government are doing to suppress peaceful cries for justice. The footage that was captured is stunning. This is what actual journalism looks like.

Don't be afraid to speak up. You're not alone. We need everyone in this fight. Please watch this film.

This was a beautiful film that brings the truth of these encampment to light. Demonized in the media, you can see the true spirit and heroism of these students. In the face of Genocide they decided to use their voices and power to take a stand. Shining a bright light on Mahmoud Khalil, it makes his kidnapping a detention blaringly shocking. His passion and drive to not only bring his peoples struggles to the forfront, but to put himself at the centerbis truly amazing. It brings the struggle of Palestine to the forefront without the biases we are taught. Beautifully crafted and enlightening. Anyone wanting to learn about Palestine and the struggle of the Palestinians should watch this film.
