OCCUPY! AN UNFINISHED UPRISING is a six-part narrative series from Future Hindsight exploring how a group of activists camping out in the middle of New York City reshaped the global conversation around capitalism.
On the heels of one of the worst economic crises this nation has ever seen, thousands answered a call to protest Wall Street. They built an anti-capitalist village in a tiny park that inspired hundreds of occupations worldwide. It was the first major American movement of the social media era. As we approach the 15th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, this series goes inside the movement that grew rapidly, felt both chaotic and transcendent, and then violently flamed out — all from the voices of the activists who lived it.
Mainstream media might have labeled it a failure, but Occupy popularized the language of the "99%," birthed a new generation of organizers, and permanently altered American politics. Discover how an improbable uprising proved that collective action can reshape what is possible.
