In THE UNMAKING OF A COLLEGE, students at Hampshire College confront a new president’s
underhanded attempt to shut down their school and discover that a powerful institution is
bullying an inexperienced administration into giving up the independence of one of the most
experimenting colleges in the United States. A raucous ode to democracy in action, this film
evokes the courage required to stand up to power at a time when many liberal arts colleges are
failing.
