Protests against the government's complicity in the Gaza massacre spread across the United States. On the Columbia University campus, 50 students kick off one of the most significant student movements in contemporary history when, in April 2024, they occupy the university grounds and set up a resistance camp. The movement is criminalized by institutions and the media, the protesters are arrested and silenced, but the wave of protests for Gaza does not stop. A “live” testimony, with the voices of the movement's protagonists, The Encampments is a chronicle of the struggles and sacrifices of a generation in protest.
