EXCERPT

For decades, it was nearly impossible for pro-Palestinian films to get into theaters. We have a chance to change that, but need your help. 

We’ve been working on a film, “The Encampments,” that comes out this week in NYC. We interviewed Mahmoud Khalil for countless hours, and it sets the record straight about what happened at Columbia. We can bring it to theaters nationwide right away but only if we can show that there’s an audience that wants to see it. 

So please help the film grow and send the link to all your friends in NYC to come out this weekend. And comment below if you want it to come to your city.
