‘99% – The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film’ Trailer

Posted on Wednesday, August 7th, 2013 by Angie Han

It’s been less than two years since protesters first set down in New York City’s Zuccotti Park to rally against social and economic injustice, so it’s a little weird that Occupy Wall Street already feels like a distant memory. (Or is that just me?) But a new documentary could help bring us back to those heady times.

After a Sundance premiere earlier this year, 99% – The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film is now preparing to march into theaters next month, and as such has a new trailer out. Though the promo names Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell (of the black metal doc Until the Light Takes Us) as the directors, the project was, as the clunky title suggests, a collaborative effort involving over 100 filmmakers.
