In 2011, millions rose up against Wall Street gangsters who crashed the global economy. Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream (dir. Michelle Fawcett, 2025, 51 min.) is a unique look at how a populist upsurge swept the nation, put oligarchs on the back foot, and revived working-class politics. A personal narrative featuring interviews with occupiers from travels to 42 occupations in 27 states in 2011-2012 (with a special focus on Youngstown, Ohio!), this new documentary captures the economic, social, and democratic possibilities the movement unleashed, with hope, humor, and heart.
