Student protests at universities across the country captured our attention in both traditional and social media. This film and the next one in our series, October 8, look at these campus protests from opposing angles.

In some cases, they were most certainly not.  Even if you missed the session, we encourage you to read High Conflict before you join us for the upcoming film sessions.

Even if you missed the session, we encourage you to read High Conflict before you join us for the upcoming film sessions.
