DOC NYC 2021 Presents Q&A for BOYCOTT with Dir. Julia Bacha, Producer Suhad Babaa, Daniel J. Chalfen

Boycotts have long been a tool used by Americans rallying for political change, from civil rights leaders to anti-apartheid activists. But in recent years, over 30 states have introduced anti-boycott legislation designed to penalize individuals undertaking boycotts against Israel. Award-winning filmmaker Julia Bacha (Budrus) looks at the cases of a publisher, attorney, and teacher whose careers are threatened by the harsh measures of these new laws in this bracing look at shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.

Q&A with Director Julia Bacha, Producers Suhad Babaa, Daniel J. Chalfen, Film Subjects Mikkel Jordahl, Bahia Amawi, Alan Leveritt, Brian Hauss, Moderated by MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin.
