The First Film To Document Campus Antisemitism Both Before & After October 7
VIEW THE TRAILER
Blind Spot is a wake-up call turned rallying cry from students facing and fighting antisemitism on their campuses, in their own words.
About the film
A must-see film about the threat to Jewish life on campus, told through the voices and experiences of students
Blind Spot is the first film to document both the antisemitism that existed on American campuses before October 7 and how it led to the explosion of virulent and often violent campus antisemitism after October 7. In their own words, it tells the story from the perspectives of more than two dozen students at more than a dozen schools who’ve experienced and fought against this hatred.
Jewish students are on the front lines of a modern-day civil rights movement. Blind Spot bears witness to their bravery in the face of extreme hostility, indifference, and efforts to silence them and erase their Jewish identity while too many school administrators fail to take action. Blind Spot shows Jewish students asserting, defending, and demanding the enforcement of their right to be treated equally with all others in America, free from hostile learning environments and discrimination in and out of the classroom. It is a call to action for us to stand together to pressure university leaders and elected officials to act decisively to root out antisemitism on campuses from all sources, whether it’s faculty, students, administrators, outside groups, or anywhere else.
