Occupy America / #OccupyAmerica

Produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews), Erick Stoll (camera), and Liz Cambron.

#OccupyAmerica // Have the Occupy Wall Street protests that sprung up across the country this fall already passed? Shot in NYC, Oakland, and Cincinnati, this short explores the state of the #OWS protests now that local governments have removed permanent encampments, and asks what the future will be for this still-young nationwide movement.

That's really what you took away from this?

[tennisdrums93]

Keep in mind, these people aren't protesting because they don't have jobs. Their message is much more fundamental than that. Over the past several years, economic stratification has increased vastly. Fewer people control a larger amount of the wealth and influence than have for a long time. This does not facilitate a healthy economy, society, or democracy. As a side note, 3000k=3 million... so you may want to revisit that number seeing as it currently employs about 250,000 employees.

They are. That's what Fox news does, lol

[jrcolmena]

I am glad both the tea party movement and the occupy movement are over, enough of crazy radicals, sane people for policy making!

[john hamill]

thats a another great quote from a Fox Viewing conservative....

[Ben Scheel]

they interview people, the people themselves do not have any information that is the problem. They do not know ANYTHING so they talk generals. (mostly Republicans/conservatives)

[Arthur Sweeney]

Power to our cause.

The best way to occupy America is to stop paying tax.

Did you watch the video?

[Marcus Diaz]

Every video I've watched so far from NLM has nearly no factual information, just a bunch of background music w/ others voicing opinions. If you are NLM I hope you read this and actually start making videos more convincing w/ factual information. That is ti include history and Ideology. You can start by researching the Founding Fathers of how they intended this Nation to be.

[Peter P.]

These people are far more articulate than the dolts at the Romney and tea-party events. wow.
