Crisis on Campus

Crisis on Campus

Author: FRONTLINE June 13, 2024 Duration: 56:34
A firestorm has been raging on many American college campuses. Ignited by the devastating October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and the catastrophic war in Gaza, the outrage deeply divided American campuses and in some places devolved into hate-filled rhetoric and arrests. FRONTLINE and Retro Report have been following the escalating turmoil since the war began — talking to people on all sides of the divide, investigating how universities have responded, how powerful interests joined the fray, and how the conflict over the conflict ultimately spiraled out of control. From director James Jacoby (Netanyahu, America & the Road to War in Gaza, Amazon Empire, Age of Easy Money) and Retro Report producers Scott Michels and Joseph Hogan, Crisis on Campus examines how the debate over one of the world’s most intractable and complex conflicts has gripped American college campuses.

Ever wondered what it would be like to experience a powerful documentary with your eyes closed? FRONTLINE: Film Audio Track | PBS offers exactly that, transforming the series' acclaimed visual investigations into a purely auditory form. This podcast pulls back the curtain on the filmmaking process in an unexpected way, letting the intricate sound design, candid interviews, and compelling narrative journalism take center stage.

It’s an intimate way to engage with some of the most crucial reporting of our time, where the voices of subjects, the tension in a reporter's question, and the pacing of the edit become the entire landscape. Presented by FRONTLINE, this audio track invites dedicated listeners and new audiences alike to immerse themselves in complex stories about politics, justice, and society. The result is a uniquely focused and personal listening experience that proves how much can be conveyed when you simply listen.
