Falasteen on Film in Collaboration with pymbritain and macbirmingham present watermelonpictures The Encampments, Michael T Workman and Key Pritsker’s brave, powerful documentary chronicling the 2024 US university protests in solidarity with Palestine.

We are honoured to be joined by pymbritain representatives & Birmingham student organisers who led local actions, for a conversation reflecting on their experiences and the film before the screening. As a community cinema, we were honoured to host an outdoor screening in solidarity with Gaza Heart students last summer. The student uprisings provided a much needed morale boost on a global scale when the encampments rose up.

THE ENCAMPMENTS is a brave and powerful new documentary following the Palestine solidarity protests that erupted across university campuses in 2024.

With gripping footage of the protesters’ struggle, the film shows the peaceful nature of the movement and the momentous challenges it faces. Featuring detained activist Mahmoud Khalil, alongside professors, whistleblowers and organisers, the film captures the deeper stakes of a historic moment that continues to reverberate across the globe.

Timely, urgent and filled with a clear-eyed fury, THE ENCAMPMENTS is a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silenced and a message of hope for the people of Palestine.
