A new documentary, "The Encampments," takes viewers inside the protests across college campuses and public spaces. It features interviews with Mahmoud Khalil, now in a Louisiana detention center after being taken into custody by ICE, award-winning journalist Bisan Owda, and Grant Miner, who was expelled from Columbia University because of his participation in the occupation of a campus building. In its first limited-release weekend, it became the most-seen documentary in theaters. @TeenVogue spoke to co-director Kei Pritsker and student organizer Sueda Polat about why they made the film.

Interview: "The new documentary, The Encampments, follows last year’s student occupations of college campuses to protest U.S. backing of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza."

Hip-Hop Star Macklemore is executive producer ot the film. His song, “Hind’s Hall,” is named after the Columbia student occupation of the campus building, itself named after Hind Rajab, a young girl murdered by the Israeli army.

"We are in urgent, dire times that require us as human beings coming together and fighting against fascism, fighting against genocide, and the only way to do that is by opening up the heart and realizing that collective liberation is the only solution," Macklemore says.
