## Resource

Emmy award-winning filmmaker Ric Esther Bienstock discusses her new documentary "Speechless” – a 10-year investigation into campus culture, cancel culture, and our crisis of free speech. The Canadian addresses the tension between DEI initiatives and protecting students from harm versus fostering open debate. She asks whether universities can self-correct their increasingly polarized environments or whether government needs to step in. Bienstock also explores how ideological movements have now spread from campuses into broader society.
