Disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
Somewhat insightful film of factors which derailed the Occupy Movement. This film had a clear anti-occupy agenda which portrayed the film in an unbalanced way. Had the filmmaker done more research on the grievances which sparked the protests the film may have been more successful & at the same time sparked civil debates on dealing with the issues plaguing the everyday citizens of this nation. He was more focused on airing the dirty laundry of a small number of protesters & organizers to tarnish the movement. He did make some good points about hypocritical organizers & criminal behavior that took place but was the main focus of the film causing it to fall short in depicting anything groundbreaking. Its sad to see people waving signs for peace, equality & justice that are in a state of frustration, ruin what could have been a powerful movement for making things better by matching the bad behavior of banks & corporations with destruction, mayhem & not being able to articulate your points in interviews. That being said the filmmaker could have talked to more intelligent people at the protests had the purpose of the film not been biased.
