1. Rise Like Lions: OWS and the Seeds of Revolution (2011)
When
in doubt, go to the primary source. Scott
Noble, who also produced Lifting the Veil, pulls together a combination
of internet and original footage to create the first feature-length
documentary on Occupy Wall St, telling the story and motivation behind
the movement in its own words. It is a treatise to the beautiful
awakening of human heart and hope that has arisen in the American
people, capturing the imagination and dreams of a new generation's
struggle to create a better world.
"Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few.'
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
