THE ENCAMPMENTS USA, 2025, 81 min, color, documentary

Few documentaries are more timely than this fast-tracked account of the Gaza protests at Columbia which inspired a wave of support across North American campuses. At the centre of this story is grad student activist Mahmoud Kahlil, who hit the headlines just last month after he was detained by ICE and who is fighting a deportation order. Another prominent character in the film, Grant Miner, who is Jewish, was recently expelled by Columbia. One of the film’s most important elements is how it shows the active role taken by many Jewish allies of Palestinians. At a time when the right to free speech is policed with such rigour, The Encampments provides a vital opportunity to hear what the protestors have to say about Israel, Palestine, and financial accountability.
