The Encampments: Uprising Against the Death Machine
🕑 Added 2025-04-08 13:46:01 +0000 UTCDirectors Michael T. Workman and Kei Pritsker join Breht to discuss The Encampments, their award-winning new documentary chronicling the 2024 student-led pro-Palestinian uprisings at Columbia, UCLA, and beyond. We talk about the ethical challenges of filming, fascist state repression faced people who speak out against Israel, the story of Mahmoud Khalil’s ICE detention and its relationship to the film, this film as revolutionary cultural production and political education, the universities dereliction of duty in keeping their students safe from violent Zionist thugs, and the film’s role as a tool for organizers. With campuses - and society - under a reactionary crackdown and solidarity rising, this episode explores how cinema, student resistance, and revolutionary struggle converge in the fight for Palestinian liberation.
