Film Premiere at Yale University
Shining a Light on Academic Boycotts of Israeli Institutions and Academics
MARCH 26, 2026
Dinner, screening, and student discussion
Buckley Institute, Yale University | New Haven
Why This Matters
At a moment when discourse about Israel on college campuses is polarized, simplified, or filtered through ideology, Indivisible invites a different approach:
Listen directly to those living and working within Israeli academia
Engage with complexity rather than slogans
Confront uncomfortable questions about academic freedom, bias, and intellectual integrity
Testimonials
“The authentic voices and ideas expressed in Indivisible are much needed in any discussion of the unfortunate predicament facing Israel’s vibrant academic communities. When outside criticism of a country’s political leadership devolves into hostile boycotts of its intellectual and scientific output, it adversely affects the lives of that country’s citizens and those beyond. This clear-thinking film exemplifies the profound potential documentaries have in advancing important conversations.”

the Camera”
“The film showcases one of the most effective approaches to countering anti-Israel sentiment on campuses — exposure to the reality of Israel. The trip documented in the film highlights the extraordinary opportunities for U.S. and Israeli scholars to collaborate, to further scientific breakthroughs, and to promote mutual understanding.”

“I was incredibly moved watching this video of the Yale faculty mission to Israel — to see how deeply the visit affected them and how much it meant to their Israeli colleagues. Having led a similar Penn faculty mission just weeks earlier, I know firsthand how transformative it is to show up for our colleagues — and how urgently more universities need to do the same.”
