can't. see evolution. and. i. will not be seeing tells us that other malfunction of this. audience is flipped out they cheered everybody in the eighty's wanted to be gordon gekko but the thing is this all over stone road is a piece of satire but nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted seats adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers obscene will for a very few overeating poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human

consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit a precious few over five million children globally each year 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 that places human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey. 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. it's console bad well it's a very well to buy but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place. that that was so i got to do is go the money is going to get fewer people there will. be for millions you have six who want to hear. the wealth of thirty percent of american families you know

one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of americans so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functioning bought and sold as it is by wall street and super pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward for anyone to the very same problem anyone politicians know if they sort of outspend their competitor they're going to when they're when the election ninety four percent of the time of the. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaigns 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 office for a 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. to long to say the u.s.

government currently functions for and by the people would be a funny joke it's a joke we're not on you know most everyone we know magine 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 it was going to be just not a good enough we will be like a duke ellington just. everybody's got the only thing we need to do just not to conduct that he just put so much not. just yes that's democracy in action but loving experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. so radicalizing for two point continues to be surrounded by 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 and then somebody. more than it would be

clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for 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 but giving people the opportunity to create for yourself and to be there in a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this moment and it's also i think. finally put the kybosh. 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 home. so . people. thank you very much for. i

guess what you say but for all the government no longer represents the people the people are going to take.

you. i. think you. may be. poor. five thirty in the morning there was 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 are more than ideas and cardboard signs and urgency to protect it 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. and 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 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 comedy that it made. not be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the. revolution and it's not going to be stuff like police barricades and pepper spray is it. looks like. the way you do it.

in the first six months of the movement about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests for things why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail. five on five. when we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the ship park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co-create up austria having most of the problems but the self is in the offices so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized this the rest of the people like you know they do that they have done that trying to twenty five years in this country thirty five years nonviolent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble uncommented spontaneous marches

in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and or williams free speech zone when it comes to be there. 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 the movement was solely about clashes with the police. is trash to get rid of. but it's also a treasure. worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out. do

we speak your language anything about the will not advance. or music programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles couldn't stories. you hear. then surely i'll teach spanish to find out more visit i to allahabad all tito it's calm. me eves. you. should. keep. close.

actually i do like this now i guess.

there are inherent in our civilians to get excited when. i was young i thought there were. people that had not been sitting in anything. there's no. law that everybody has served in iraq afghanistan like you look. back. in afghanistan my mother didn't get an hour back. to come home i'm a new york city my opinion your city and. there's no reason there's no bridges no owner and i don't see a million. was. a i can't slave. lease your entire life 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 thousand a.d. 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 us 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. the spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent while spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable to jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's

a great means and the nand their head lock arms now you know what take me to tell you that i continue to do this i read about it joe you know watch you continue to tell my brother my sister my mom's going to body else that looks like me an arrest and i think it should be a scary thing not just for those oh you know people color minority can but out of us they're not 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. already made every time there are various issues like that which are so pfizer recreational mother. of every two thousand one l.l. am profiting no matter what you're. going to rebuy action taking place right now. by my camera all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes it's amending

change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals in western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop the bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure is really doing the fags it's. five by. 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 are we clear with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of 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 i 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 are more and more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to keep the back of the. the hour. was. back. where i got that right. and sometimes demanding change on a large scale starts with 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 farm passed i was traveling around the country and people kept

saying how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around various states and and i stoli 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 wants 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 and health care is really part of a 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 know this 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 on 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. the fact is because they can't provide one. was out i was. fine i think you're going to have a snow cave maybe you. believe. it . sally. if you. put down the street and join protesters picketing outside where a dare risk wrote shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because i think for my father part i was so

committed suicide shot himself it had every state. but because her life partner did have enough money to pay for health care i just take care of it and get invited pass because my sister and myself first fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide i've ever heard of if he had to quit standing outside everything he had borrowed from anybody saying you know we turned this post this person and cetera et cetera everything that could have possibly did not work one right before sharon now said please request by far my daughter's home i have to find yesterday that it was he says i'm sure you understand this is something i have you can't hold you know without but simply not i'm sure that's why i'm here at this forum and i've heard people like every person that died for lack of access to health care somethings father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have.

it is a. thing i. think a i. think i thought ok you think even though 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 nine hundred eighty 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 and 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 your corporation 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 billion 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. for this in the past decade and in two thousand and eight pay taxes had a rate. waiting for it. one person that it was. thank you thank you thank thousand thank you. cut you think i'd have to make you think you to me like you. think i was the success thank you thank you was yes thank you thank you thank you but one thing got to be one but that is don't think the twenty five years of the nothing but great we've been working pete thank

another word behind that which is how to influence these situations steer clear of provocations don't answer any question. came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around the lights and what was happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building. possibly they want to do a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come and threw them out that didn't seem to be a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business and in the across the it's one person one fault but in brussels business it's one euro one fault you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
