 screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience.\n\nAfter 
 years of right-wing assaults on higher education, attacks took a new form 
 in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism.  As 
 students across the country organize protests against Israel’s genocide 
 on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the 
 “Palestine exception”–are shattered. This film features professors 
 and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from 
 companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from 
 administrators, the media, the police and politicians.  Scholars from 
 diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so 
 many young people identify with the Palestinian cause. The documentary 
 unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and 
 repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in 
 unexpected 
 ways.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
