Alex Gibney to Exec Produce Doc About College Culture Wars and Freedom of Speech (EXCLUSIVE)


Alex Gibney will executive produce a documentary about the college culture wars and freedom of speech.

Oscar winner Alex Gibney has signed on to executive produce “Speechless,” a feature-length documentary about the culture wars being waged and the threats to freedom of speech on university and college campuses across the United States. To convey the turbulent crossroads facing academia, the doc will include covert recordings inside Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offices, a white professor’s landmark legal battle against racial discrimination, a conservative takeover of a Florida college, and the dramatic canceling of a Harvard biologist’s 20-year career. On March 4, in a social media post, President Trump threatened to stop federal funding for “any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” and proposed that “agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came.”
