We Demand revisits a ten-day period of unprecedented student upheaval at the University of Virginia in 1970, during the height of the anti-Vietnam War movement. The film reenacts the delivery of two sets of demands regarding action to be taken on campus and in the wider political sphere, spoken by budding activist James R. Roebuck, the first African American president of UVA’s Student Council.
