In this video, titled “Someday,” the actor and filmmaker Matthew Modine resurrects an old parable and applies it to the Occupy Movement.

“It’s easy to bemoan our political leaders, and we no doubt expect way too much from them,” Modine said. “They are, after all, no more than elected public officials. When they fail to represent the will of the people and the nation, we need to replace them with those who will. This democratic process is but one of the goals of Occupy Wall Street. It’s people from all over the world asking for better management and exercising their right to demonstrate - which is the most basic emblem of democracy.”

“If you think you’re too small to make an impact,” he added, “remember how annoying it is to try and sleep with a mosquito in your bedroom. I made this film to demonstrate.”
