Скачать или смотреть UCLA Deploys Riot Police Against Students Peacefully Watching the Documentary "The Encampments"

“To find out who has power over you, see who you are not allowed to criticize” is vividly illustrated by recent events at UCLA, where riot police were deployed to suppress students attempting to screen The Encampments, a documentary chronicling pro-Palestine campus protests. This incident exposes the intersection of state power, university administration, and broader political interests, particularly those aligned with the U.S.-I****li relationship, and how these forces converge to police dissent and control narratives around Pal***ine solidarity.

Suppression of Dissent at UCLA
On the anniversary of a violent attack by pro-Israel counter-protesters on a Palestine solidarity encampment, UCLA students and activists gathered to watch The Encampments, a film documenting the Gaza Solidarity Encampments and the movement to divest from companies complicit in the Israeli military campaign against Palestinians. Rather than allow this peaceful act of collective memory and protest, UCLA authorities closed off public spaces, deployed riot police, and forcibly prevented the screening, detaining students, confiscating equipment, and justifying their actions under the guise of university “Time, Place and Manner” policies.

This response is not an isolated incident but part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism across U.S. campuses, where the right to critique Israeli policy and by extension, U.S. complicity, is increasingly criminalized. The fact that riot police were mobilized to stop a documentary screening, while previous violent attacks on encampments by pro-Is**el groups were met with police inaction, reveals whose interests are protected and whose voices are suppressed.

The Film and Its Context
The Encampments was co-directed by Kei Pritsker, a pro-Palestine journalist and activist, and produced by Macklemore, featuring activists like Mahmoud Khalil. The film documents student-led demands for university divestment from weapons manufacturers supplying the Isra**li military, and it offers a narrative largely absent from mainstream media-one that centers Palestinian voices and critiques the corporatization of universities and their complicity in settler-colonial violence.

While the film has achieved significant box office success and critical acclaim, its public screenings have faced institutional barriers, reflecting a broader pattern of censorship and repression of pro-Palestinian perspectives in the U.S. This is not unique to The Encampments; other award-winning documentaries, such as No Other Land-co-directed by Pale***nian and Isr**li filmmakers, have also struggled to find distribution in the U.S., despite international recognition. The suppression of these films underscores the extent to which cultural and academic institutions in the U.S. are pressured to align with dominant pro-Is**el narratives.
