#whilewewatch, a Media Movement Blossoms

#whilewewatch, a Media Movement Blossoms
Thu, 4/26/2012

As soon as Occupy Wall Street set its tents down in Zuccotti Park, an independent media movement sprung up to cover it, asking the questions and telling the stories the corporate media wouldn't dare. #whilewewatch is filmmaker Kevin Breslin's attempt this nascent culture of tech-savvy livestreamers, bloggers and tweeters as they document the swiftly-changing world around them.

"#whilewewatch is the story of how many people came together in the sun and rain, day and night, broke and loaded with energy and hope to get their story out to the world," Breslin said about his film, which premiered in January at The Paley Center for Media. "#OWS has galvanized the world. They don't back down from the police, big business or a city government that tried to dismiss them. When regular media paid no attention to this movement they decided to tell the world their story."

This evening at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT, Occupy.com will host a screening of the full film on Occupy.com homepage.

Filmmaker: Kevin Breslin

Over the next two years, Democrats have the unfettered ability to be an albatross around the neck of the GOP — and to make sure that what little they manage to get done due to their paper-thin majorities becomes the reason for their undoing.

This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.

Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.

The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
