From Executive Producer Macklemore, The Encampments offers an urgent, intimate portrait of America’s student movement, ignited at Columbia University as students protested their universities’ ties to the war on Gaza. Their actions sparked a nationwide uprising, with encampments spreading across hundreds of campuses. Featuring detained activist Mahmoud Khalil, alongside professors, whistleblowers, and organizers, the film captures the deeper stakes of a historic moment that continues to reverberate across the globe.
We will be showing the recently released film The Encampments on Friday August 29th at 7pm at Valerie in Mendocino. They have graciously donated their space for this event. Many thanks!
Refreshments will be provided and the film will be followed with a discussion.
