Join Brent & Harrow PSC for a film screening of ‘Boycott’ on Monday 2nd October 2023 at 7.30pm at Serenity Restaurant & Banquet Hall, Harrow HA1 2DE, followed by a talk by Peter Leary from Palestine Solidarity Campaign about the issues and significance to the UK.
About the film
Over the past six years, unbeknownst to most Americans, 36 states passed laws intending to silence boycotts and other nonviolent measures aimed at pressuring Israel on its human rights record. These dangerous bills remove the legal protection that has been awarded to boycotts for generations, granting governments the power to condition jobs on political viewpoints.
As this wave of anti-boycott legislation has swept through US, so has a counter-wave in defense of freedom of speech. Everyday Americans are challenging these laws for their constitutionality in a nation-wide battle likely to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
With full access to the plaintiffs and in revelatory moments with elected officials, Boycott chronicles one of the most consequential First Amendment battles of the past few decades and investigates the question – how did we get here?
