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.

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.

The recent decisions by two of the most influential national newspapers of record to not publish their endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris says a lot about how seriously they take Trump’s threats to democracy and his promises of vengeance against his enemies.

On the eve of the historic November vote, it seems important to ask: What's wrong with men, how did we get here, and can we change this?

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.

The country has never moved as close to the course it took under Benito Mussolini as it is doing now — and even if Meloni is not a neo-fascist politician, she has put herself in a position to appeal to and broaden fascism's political base.
