The Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University began with 50 students pitching tents in the campus’s designated protest zone, then soon became an international movement demanding university administrations divest from Israel and weapons manufacturing. This stirring film’s protagonists include the personable Mahmoud Khalil (who was arrested in March as part of an effort to deport pro-Palestinian student activists). The strength of the film is that it avoids getting caught up in polemics, instead focusing solely on the encampments and the people who led them. (dir. Kei Pritsker, Michael T Workman, U.S., 2025, 83 min.)
“The Encampments is not just critical in capturing the real-time makings of a movement, but in laying bare the consequences of this response.” — Hollywood
