The informative film calls attention to an important issue, but viewers should recognize that the perspective is one-sided.

The movie is hugely enlightening, if not solely for the reasons it means to be.

The SS Ben Hecht

Mainly, the subjects, and presumably the filmmakers, of both October 8 and The Encampments have a strident belief that most major institutions are against them and their cause.

Maven's Nest

Among a broad range of interviews, testimonies on the impacts of antisemitic verbal attacks in person and online include details by several American Jewish women that are the most impactful, esp. at U.S. colleges. But the conspiratorial evidence is thin.
