THE ENCAMPMENTS by Michael T. Workman & Kei Pritsker Filmed entirely on-site and debuting less than a year to the date from when Columbia students pitched their first tents, this documentary comes in response to the escalating situation involving student activist Mahmoud Khalil, as well as Columbia's recent crackdown on student activism due to its federal funding being withheld by the Trump administration - news stories which have drawn huge national and worldwide attention. Mahmoud is a central figure in the film and a Columbia student organizer currently detained by DHS and held in ICE custody here in Louisiana without charges, whose trial is imminent and will be a key flashpoint for the continuance of democracy in the US. THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today. Filmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today.
