Boycott
What happened to Freedom of Speech?
A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.

Press
“The film juxtaposes the triumphant narrative of the plaintiffs’ wins in court with the chilling story of how a vast lobbying effort successfully implemented.”
- Jewish Currents
“The latest from Julia Bacha (Budrus) is a deep study.”
- People's World
“Boycott is worth your watch. At worst the issues presented are real and compelling. And at best, these ideas (and lawsuits) might better the lives of people living all across the globe.”
