$800 mil from Johns Hopkins. I think many don’t realize how much of the world we live in, the better as well as the worse, is a product of higher ed, now under attack.

There's been so much publicity about the now-Oscar-winning doc No Other Land being unable to find a U.S. distributor (which is appalling) that some people may not realize it's currently on 100 screens here. In Manhattan you can see it at Film Forum; in Brooklyn it's at Alamo Drafthouse.
