CCMS is proud to announce that we will be hosting a screening of the documentary The Encampments. This timely documentary tracks how students flooded Columbia University's lawn to create the Gaza Solidarity Encampment in order to pressure their university to divest from the US and Israeli weapons companies.
The film will be followed by a discussion and audience Q&A.
50% of the proceeds will be given to the documentary's producer, Watermelon Pictures.
Doors open at 5:30 and the film begins at 6:00 PM.
This event is cosponsored by MENA Film Festival, From The River to the Sea Film Collective, Students, Staff, and Faculty for a Democratic University (SDU+),The Grad Student Society at SFU, UBC Staff for Palestine, SFPIRG, and IJV Vancouver.
