Take a Chance on Occupy

Take a Chance on Occupy
Fri, 3/30/2012

"Still Free (Take a Chance on Me)," skillfully edited by the Canada-based Framed Crooks, is a montage of some of the most popular Occupy footage from around the country and the world. Set to the perennial ABBA tune "Take a Chance on Me," the short, which features some of the best-known episodes in our nascent movement's history, is essentially a love letter to Occupy Wall Street in observance of its six-month anniversary. Whoever thought a Europop song about unrequited love from 1978 could also perfectly describe the passion that fuels the Occupy Movement?

"We took a chance, to see what freedoms we truly still had," the filmmaker said. "We didn't find quite what we were looking for, but we did discover that another world is not only possible, it's already growing. Come take a chance, and grow with us."
