SUMMARY:Movie: The Encampments
DESCRIPTION:THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza\, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today. \nFilmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding\, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors\, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations\, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today. \n“What makes THE ENCAMPMENTS artistically triumphant is its sense of contemporary and historical detail\, owed to both footage shot by the filmmakers\, as well as by the protesters themselves. In the process\, co-directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T. Workman craft a work of cinema that’s as rigorously journalistic in its arguments as it is nakedly sentimental.” – IndieWire \n“This is more than a student protest—it’s a generational struggle for justice. Students have always led the charge for justice\, from the sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement to the campus protests against South African apartheid. The encampments that started at Columbia are part of that legacy\, inspiring millions of people around the world. The film ensures the students in US and Gaza are heard\, their actions are remembered\, and the fight for Palestinian liberation continues.” – Macklemore \n“Khalil remains detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana amid a legal battle to prevent his deportation from the U.S. after the Trump administration ordered his removal… The legal challenge to Khalil might ultimately come down to the Supreme Court\, which would decide how far the secretary of state can determine whether a permanent resident can be removed for speech.” – Axios

SUMMARY:Social Justice Film Festival: Threads of a Revolution
DESCRIPTION:When Janet Biehl edited her late partner Murray Bookchin’s approach to participatory politics in the 1970s\, she could never have imagined that this work would one day take her half-way across the globe. In this film\, Janet explores how Murray’s political theories were adapted to ignite a women-led revolution and bring about remarkable societal transformations in North East Syria. Just as civil war erupted in 2011\, imprisoned Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan recognised a unique opportunity for Syria’s Kurdish community: inspired by Murray’s theories\, Ocalan’s followers were to establish self-governance within Syria\, rather than fighting for an independent Kurdish state. The autonomous region of Rojava was created and Janet felt compelled to explore first-hand the impact-potential of Murray’s ideas\, which\, once ahead of their time\, finally found a place to be put into practice. Against the ruins of war\, Janet meets the women leading this revolution as they come to terms with life after ISIS. She visits academies that promote gender equality\, teach feminist theories\, and empower women from traditionally conservative communities to build a truly egalitarian society. Murray believed that true democracy could only be achieved by replacing existing political structures with a new participatory style of decision-making\, grounded in the community. Janet learns that cities once destroyed by war now indeed host thriving neighbourhood assemblies and communes: direct democracy has replaced the dictatorship of President Bashar Al Assad. However\, threats loom as Turkey’s President Erdogan invades parts of Rojava. Janet discovers the importance of armed self-protection groups in defending the new-gained freedom – and the cost to do the same.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Film Festival: Threads of a Revolution (streaming)
DESCRIPTION:When Janet Biehl edited her late partner Murray Bookchin’s approach to participatory politics in the 1970s\, she could never have imagined that this work would one day take her half-way across the globe. In this film\, Janet explores how Murray’s political theories were adapted to ignite a women-led revolution and bring about remarkable societal transformations in North East Syria. Just as civil war erupted in 2011\, imprisoned Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan recognised a unique opportunity for Syria’s Kurdish community: inspired by Murray’s theories\, Ocalan’s followers were to establish self-governance within Syria\, rather than fighting for an independent Kurdish state. The autonomous region of Rojava was created and Janet felt compelled to explore first-hand the impact-potential of Murray’s ideas\, which\, once ahead of their time\, finally found a place to be put into practice. Against the ruins of war\, Janet meets the women leading this revolution as they come to terms with life after ISIS. She visits academies that promote gender equality\, teach feminist theories\, and empower women from traditionally conservative communities to build a truly egalitarian society. Murray believed that true democracy could only be achieved by replacing existing political structures with a new participatory style of decision-making\, grounded in the community. Janet learns that cities once destroyed by war now indeed host thriving neighbourhood assemblies and communes: direct democracy has replaced the dictatorship of President Bashar Al Assad. However\, threats loom as Turkey’s President Erdogan invades parts of Rojava. Janet discovers the importance of armed self-protection groups in defending the new-gained freedom – and the cost to do the same.

SUMMARY:Jerusalem Street Food
DESCRIPTION:Join Nadia Tommalieh on a culinary journey to the bustling markets of the ancient city of Jerusalem\, where she’ll show you how to make iconic street foods that have been savored for generations. You’ll learn the rich cultural history behind these beloved recipes as you make freshly baked ka’ak al Quds (Jerusalem Sesame Bread) and qudsiyeh (creamy hummus with fava beans in a zesty citrus sauce). You’ll discover a twist on traditional favorites with falafel mahshi (falafel stuffed with caramelized onions and sumac) paired with tarator sauce; fattet hummus(seasoned chickpea stew with toasted bread and crunchy fried nuts). No Jerusalem street food experience would be complete without a side of traditional salatah Qudsiyeh\, a salad of seasonal vegetables and herbs dressed in a jalapeno and tahini dressing. \nPlease note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions\, but many cannot. If you’re vegetarian\, pescatarian\, or gluten-free\, you can use the drop-down menu on our events page to view the best classes to fit your needs.
