The Pendulum Swings

Episode 2 of 2

A Storyville documentary that delves into the heart of the culture wars and freedom of speech conversations that have exploded on US campuses over the last ten years.

This two-part documentary is a personal journey by award-winning film-maker Ric Esther Bienstock that delves into the heart of the culture wars and freedom of speech conversations that have exploded on US campuses over the last ten years.

Starting in 2017, the film hears from academics, activists and students on all sides of the divisive debates and paints a vivid picture of an educational environment marked by fear and threats. In this polarised academic landscape, Ric Esther Bienstock argues that the liberal ideals of open debate and diversity of thought are under siege.
