Critique of Documentary, "The Encampments" (ft. an outside agitator with Unity of Fields)
from JDPOD · host Joma and Nate
In this episode, we sit down with an outside agitator with Unity of Fields who was involved in the Columbian encampments and the occupation of Hinds Hall, to review the 2025 documentary, 'The Encampments' produced by Watermelon Pictures.As more and more encampments are doing screenings of the documentary, we feel that it’s important to provide some much needed criticisms that have not been engaged from the complete erasure of the Palestinian resistance to its erasure of US-led imperialism, this is a misleading film of a subject without a predicate.Timestamps0:00: Excerpt of speech by Imam Jamil Al-Amin (H.
