With the coming elections, REMEMBER: The 99%: Occupy Everywhere
This award-winning film documents how private money in politics has undermined democracy and transferred income from 99% of Americans to multinational corporations and the wealthy. Through personal stories of a diverse cross section of Americans, the film highlights how the 99% sparked Occupy Wall Street into a global movement.
The film, narrated by the late Lou Reed, sheds light on the breadth and depth of the Movement documenting diverse Occupiers including a 22-year-old business graduate, a Marine veteran, a web designer, a 92-year-old grandmother and a police captain as the Movement addresses critical issues of our time including income inequality, jobs, debt, the environment, gun safely, access to affordable health care and education as well as the lack of accountability of banks that committed the massive fraud that led to the economic crisis.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs connects the dots between the more just and sustainable future that many in the Movement want and feasible economic and political reforms that can get us there.
Russell Simmons speaks of the necessity of fair taxation for corporations and wealthy individuals so that his secretary does not pay a higher tax rate than he and many corporations do.
The 99%: Occupy Everywhere contains footage that has never been seen before because police physically removed the media during the eviction from Zuccotti Park and other violent crackdowns on peaceful protestors.
