The rights of academic freedom, free speech, and free association are under assault on campuses across the United States. To help educate the community about this wave of repression, the Whitman-AAUP and several academic departments will host a screening of The Palestine Exception. 

A summary of the film from the directors: "As students across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the ‘Palestine exception’–are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians." The film will be followed by conversation.
