do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can squeeze an entire library onto a computer chip the size of a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate greed. and greed take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would world look like that had a culture and an economic system the places you need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being who cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need you yes you.

can so bad that well it's a very well to vibe it makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place. that i saw you gotta do is go and money is doing it for people there will. be four million yes six want to hear. well three percent of american families one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of americans so now we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution us raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functions bought and sold. as it is by wall

street and super pacs offers a bright ray of hope for work any one of the very same problem anyone politicians know if they set out spend their competitor they're going to win the election ninety four percent time. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaign right so that means that you me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into all this process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s. government currently functions for and by the people would be a funny joke if the joke were not on you mean almost everyone we know imagine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being you know always going to agree just not about

unanimity we will be like a duke ellington jazz orchestra. everybody's got their own voice and even duke is not the conductor he just won the money but could it doesn't it. just yes that's democracy in action at the deepest level experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. so radicalizing for people and continues to be so radicalizing because it draws such a stark contrast up against what they're fighting and actually in their minds clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for them thanks to occupy wall street there's a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up. with that giving people the opportunity to create themselves

and to be part of a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this moment it's also i think. finally put the kybosh on let's organize a rally on a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and go home. for what. people are saying. particularly much for. i guess what you say. no longer represents the people the people organizing.

i.

pretty much what is it what was what was observed to to watch what do you want me to do what. i. mean five thirty in the morning is a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but at five thirty in the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake why because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world would have victor occupy wall

street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there armed with an idea some cardboard signs in an urgency to protect the young men and many of them were prepared to go to jail trying to fill the space i had already gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood on the steps of the supreme court bear witness. that it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and. that jane joined us from the grave that we have the fact that the. occupy d.c.

occupy wall street occupy the supreme court not you everywhere in my willingness to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that were in zuccotti on the morning of october fourteenth it seemed that you're about to eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to music cotty that this may not be. revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the. revolution and it's not going to be stuff like holy spirit games and pepper spray is it. looks like. the you do it like. in the first six months of the movement about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests or event why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail

i i i. i guess i've. i've. i've we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the share park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co clean up wall street i think most of the problems but the filth is in the offices or so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized the sorry i know they do that they have done that for trying to twenty five years in this country during that years nonviolent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble during uncommented spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zone when it comes to be the mayor and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the

early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think it was solely about clashes with the police i.

back by bottling it up and my mother didn't get our back company country i don't come whole i'm a new york city my i'm from new york city in the right time i pulled. over the city there's no because no owner heard on our very. eyes. ok let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about a police state since one nine hundred eighty the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact

the united states is only five percent of the world's population has twenty five percent of the world's prison population in the u.s. one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for hispanic males that number is one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over eighteen is currently in jail between one thousand eighty seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent of all spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's a great reason and the nand their head lock arms and you know i take me to you know if you want to continue to do this i read about it joe you know watch you continue to put my brother and my sister a mime ongoing anybody else that looks like me an arrest i think it should be

a scary thing not just for those you know you know people of color or minority can but out of us know that we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home. was already made every job very seriously so if you're so far as your recreational mother. of every two thousand women are lonely and profiting no matter what you're . going to rebuy action taking place right now. from my camera right i like you you're welcome pal sometimes it demanding change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals and western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure auction. the fact is

it's. five back to. a lack of government regulations gave banks enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of america got bailed out and those with underwater mortgages were sold out so that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of forrester can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and high foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy iraq more and

more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to get back. was. there. and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts because even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farmhouse i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know various states and and i stole a kind of came together like oh well unless you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population once

a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power health care is really part of the broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths to have the power and so i notice in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest and a wall street comes to washington health care conference i crashed the party with her i doubt they would let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on myself was to get gawker that we need a national health service was acceptable. practice because they can't provide one. was out i was. five it's like you have

a snow cave you are right. it's just one of. three. and join protesters picketing outside where a derose girl shared her story of why health care was literally a life and i say here because. my father bark. at the head every day. because we. didn't have enough money to pay for health care . and he didn't want to have. myself for sixty four years so

this is all considered suicide ever. but i think if. anybody. calls i for one. blessed by god my daughter. understands. that by my. father. her daughter. not only for my father but for all those like. you have passed. it is a. thing. ok oh

ok thank you thank you think you know my mortgage is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will solve all ills but be careful out there if you haven't noticed there is a war on workers well underway between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and eight the average income of the bottom ninety percent remained effectively unchanged at thirty one thousand dollars per year in that same time span the average income of the top one percent went from four hundred thousand dollars to over one point one million dollars per year so much for trickle down economics in one thousand nine hundred a c.e.o. made forty two times that of an average employee by two thousand and ten to see those were earning three hundred forty three times workers median wage and while the rich got richer they were paying less and less taxes in one nine hundred forty

five millionaires get a tax rate of sixty six percent in two thousand and ten millionaires effective tax rate was thirty two percent or more gratian things look even better bank of america holds over two point two trillion in assets and pays less in taxes than the average american household in two thousand and ten g.b. reported five point two million dollars in profit and was awarded a tax refund three point two billion dollars citi group has not paid taxes in the last four years and yet in the wake of the financial crisis they are deemed too big to fail and received four hundred seventy six billion dollars in taxpayer bailout money and goldman sachs has spent twenty two million dollars in campaign contributions and twenty one million dollars in lobbying. efforts in the past decade and in two thousand and eight paid taxes at a rate. for a. one person that i was

was that. was. kind of the time that i was immaculate guiding me i was i think i was i. wasn't yet kind of the one percent at eighty one but that about is the twenty five years of the nothing but treat we've been working p q let me play this clip of the things that we put up with the management that night but not like i was going to say would be like this thank you thank you thank you thank you
