Producers Description of The Palestine Exception -
When students and professors alike advocate for just causes, they are typically celebrated. Not so in the case of Palestine. This intense documentary examines why. Watermelon Pictures, 2025.
Shout Out for the The Palestine Exception -
"The Palestine Exception is a searing and unflinchingly honest account of what it means to stand for something, and the immense consequences of speaking up. This is a vital documentary for our present moment, but also a terrifying look at how institutional power has always tried - a will always try - to enforce silence on every last one of its critics." Omar El Akkad, Novelist and Journalist, Author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.
