We Demand premiering March 22nd.
In 2015 hundreds of students marched on Emerson College’s Faculty Assembly demanding cultural competency. In doing so, these students joined a long tradition of student led advocacy, including the Tiananmen Square protests, the Kent State Protests, and hundreds more.
At Emerson, when students involved in Protesting Oppression With Education Reform, also known as POWER, staged their second protest, on October 24th, 2017, this time with a petition signed by more than 2000 students, they were met with accusations of instigating a witch hunt.
We will explore what, on a personal level, moves activists to protest and why they feel they must be heard. This will be an intimate window, a sort of oral history, of culture at Emerson, as well as a window perhaps our nation’s future.
