A firestorm has been raging on many American college campuses over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and in some places, devolving 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.

The resulting documentary, “Crisis on Campus,” offers an incisive look at mounting tensions at some of the nation’s most elite institutions, including Columbia and Harvard universities, which have been the focus of intense debate. The documentary features revealing interviews with students and faculty at Harvard and Columbia, as well as other key players in Washington and beyond. It examines how university leaders, some of whom have faced congressional hearings, navigated the challenges of responding to heated rhetoric and division on their campuses and balancing free speech with the need to prevent harassment and discrimination.

As of June 2024, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, and Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages. “Crisis on Campus” provides a window into how the divisions over the war continue to run deep on college campuses across the U.S.
