Red Lines draws from a diary entry that captures the institutional repression faced by the student movement for Palestine. The diary tells a story filled with a growing list of restrictions: banned megaphones, protest curfews, threats of suspension: each one tightening the space for dissent. These “red lines” serve as a metaphor for institutional control, where staying silent comes at the cost of moral integrity, while speaking out risks academic repercussions.
