An Unfinished Uprising

The story of the improbable becoming possible — told by the people who slept in the park.

About The Series

In 2008, a Wall Street crash gutted millions of lives. It took until 2011 for the Left to answer — a call to protest went out, thousands came, and they tried to build an anti-capitalist village in a small Manhattan park.

Told through the voices of activists who camped in Zuccotti Park for almost two months, Occupy! An Unfinished Uprising gets inside a movement that grew fast, felt transcendent and chaotic at once, and then violently flamed out. The press called it a failure. It changed the national conversation about capitalism, gave us the language of the 99%, and trained a generation of organizers.

As Occupy’s 15th anniversary arrives this September, it’s a reminder that collective action can still reshape what looks impossible.
