Columbia University students occupied Hamilton Hall and renamed it Hind's Hall, honoring the memory of Palestinian Hind Rajab. This act was part of broader organizing efforts captured in The Encampments, a documentary that highlights student resistance amidst political unrest, including recent deportation threats. The film aims to counter portrayals of the resistance as antisemitic. Following its impactful premiere, The Encampments is now showing nationwide, revealing insights into American democracy and the marginalization of voices opposing the status quo, as articulated by filmmaker Kei Pritsker.
This moment reflects a much deeper trend that was expressed through Palestine, which is that we don't really have much of a say in this so-called democracy.
With the abduction of Mahmoud...they were taking all the lies about the encampments and using it as the foundation for this deportation campaign.
