Boycott

When a news publisher in Arkansas, an attorney in Arizona, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across America. The state legislation in question specifically penalises individuals and companies who choose to boycott Israel.

As well as following the cases of three impassioned plaintiffs who refuse to give up their right to boycott, Julia Bacha’s revealing documentary digs into the history of the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) movement, and takes a look at the far-reaching implications of the increasingly widespread legislation designed to prevent it.
