ABOUT THE FILM

“Greed, to take back the popular phrase, is not good. It is a homicidal force.”

Shot on the front lines and meeting spaces of the Occupy Movement in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., from its earliest days through the end of January 2012, "American Autumn: an Occudoc" is an inside-looking-out view of the Occupy Movement.

With interviews and insight from key organizers, thinkers and activists including Medea Benjamin, David Degraw, Dr. Margaret Flowers, Lee Camp, Naomi Klein, Nathan Schneider, Ashley Sanders, Vlad Teichberg, Sgt. Shamar Thomas, Dr. Cornel West and Kevin Zeese, among others, writer and director Dennis Trainor Jr weaves commentary and a fearless style that often puts the viewer right between police and protesters.

Dennis Trainor, Jr. has been writing and producing editorial video commentary since 2007, producing 800 videos during that span that have garnered 30 million views on YouTube. He was first video blogger to be employed by a Presidential candidate, working for Dennis Kucinich in 2008. "American Autumn: an Occudoc" is his full-length field documentary.

To win the climate argument, advocates must show how Covid-19 bailout funds could be redirected – instead of making similar mistakes as the 2008 financial crisis.

The most analogous failure to the impending economic turbulence is the financial crisis of 2008, caused, primarily, by the deregulation of the financial industry.

Activists are continuing the fight but are exhausted, balancing careers and a movement, that, to most, has become a personal battle.
