What happens when students refuse to back down? When a university becomes the battleground for justice? When the media twists the story, and those in power try to erase it?
The Encampments takes you inside one of the most controversial student protests of the decade-the 2024 Columbia University Gaza Solidarity Encampment. This isn't just a recap of events. This is the untold story of defiance, suppression, and the fight to control history.
Inside this book, you'll discover:✔ The explosive origins of the Columbia protest-what pushed students to take a stand and risk everything.
✔ The crackdown-how the university and law enforcement tried to crush the movement.
✔ The people behind the resistance-the faces, voices, and sacrifices that mainstream media ignored.
✔ The filmmaking battle-how The Encampments documentary was made against all odds.
✔ The truth about universities-their hidden financial ties to war and global conflicts.
✔ The media's role-how headlines were carefully shaped to control the narrative.
✔ The aftermath and impact-how the protest sparked a national movement and what it means for future activism.
This book is bold, urgent, and unapologetic-just like the movement it documents. Whether you're a student, activist, filmmaker, or someone who questions the world around you, The Encampments will challenge what you think you know and leave you asking: Who really writes history?
