THE 5 DEMANDS- 2023. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “THE FIVE DEMANDS tells the dramatic story of the student strike that changed the face of higher education. As colleges brace for a Supreme Court ruling later this year rolling back Affirmative Action, the story of the City University of New York (CUNY) proves to be more salient than ever. In April 1969, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York, an elite public university located right in the heart of Harlem. Fueled by the revolutionary fervor sweeping the nation, the strike soon turned into an uprising, leading to the extended occupation of the campus.”
