Please join us for a screening of the new film Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream (dir. Michelle Fawcett, 2025, 51 min.), a personal narrative with footage from travels to 42 occupations in 27 states in 2011-2013 that offers a unique look at how the movement spread like wildfire, upending politics as usual. It’s the story of laid-off factory workers in the Rust Belt, Indigenous activists in the Southwest fighting another kind of occupation, recent graduates saddled with debt and no jobs, and homeless veterans of America’s forever wars kicked to the curb. But out of this suffering, the occupiers forged a new American Dream on street corners, parks, and public plazas from coast to coast. And out of this struggle, they flipped the script from austerity to inequality, from reform to revolution, and from fear to power, heralding a new era in American politics. The film will be followed by discussion with the filmmaker about the movement and its legacy.
