Feed Drop: Occupy! Episode 1: The Invitation (by Future Hindsight)
About this episode
The episode explores the beginnings of the Occupy Wall Street movement through personal stories of hardship and community building.
In 2011, a handful of skeptical New Yorkers answer a call to Occupy Wall Street. What they find feels less like a protest and more like a glimpse of a different world—one where people openly share stories of debt, hardship, and frustration. They start to build an anti-capitalist village in a tiny Manhattan park — under the watchful eyes of police. This is the first episode of Future Hindsight’s brand new 6-part series, OCCUPY!
