In September 2011, the first Occupy Wall Street protests took place in New York. After only a few weeks, they spread over several other cities. While this was happening, documentary filmmakers Audrey Ewell and Aaron Aites called for collaborations all around the country, opening up the production to anyone who cared to participate. The result is a combination of footage taken in many American states, blending personal accounts and experts’ analyses in an attempt to understand the movement and place it alongside other non-hierarchic contemporary social movements. Sundance 2013.
