First They Came for My College

First They Came for My College chronicles the political takeover of New College of Florida after Governor Ron DeSantis stages an unprecedented coup at the state’s beloved public honors college. As students and professors suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a nationwide assault on academic freedom and diversity, the film captures a community fighting to preserve its identity, its values, and its future. What unfolds is both urgent and intimate, a portrait of young people and educators refusing to surrender to a manufactured culture war. Sunday, Oct. 11 at 3:30 p.m. Theater #1 New College professor Amy Reid and students Calypso Camacho and Lindsey Jennings featured in the film are expected to be in attendance for a post-film discussion.
