Movies like safe spaces

No Safe Spaces is a 2019 American political documentary film directed by Justin Folk that features commentator Dennis Prager and comedian Adam Carolla talking to college students and faculty about university safe spaces. The film also covers free speech controversies occasioned when political conservatives are invited to speak in university settings. The film was released in Arizona theaters October 25, 2019, and was successful enough to have a national release on December 6, 2019. It has received mixed reviews from critics.

With production beginning in 2017, the filmmakers were on hand for commentator Ben Shapiro's September 14, 2017 speech at UC Berkeley, site of civic protests and unrest. The film focuses on such speech disruptions in America, but also examines similar incidents in Canada with Jordan Peterson. In particular, it shows the case of Lindsay Shepherd who was disciplined at Wilfrid Laurier University for using a recording of a debate with Peterson in class. It also "denounce[s] censorship in China." "Carolla said, 'We'd be hypocrites if we did a movie about the suppression of free speech but didn't mention China.'"
