At Wits University, an elite school in South Africa, students held a rally against steep tuition hikes, chanting what would become a rallying cry, “Fees Must Fall”. Join BAP NYC/NJ, Westchester for Palestine, and Teaching Palestine for the first screening in our At the Root Film Series.
We will watch Everything Must Fall, the story of how one campus protest became a student protest movement - and the violent repression that swiftly followed. After, we will discuss the parallels to the student movement today and what lessons we can take away from the struggle in South Africa.
