Woodyanders Review of Occupy Unmasked

Occupy Unmasked (2012)

Scathing indictment of the Occupy Movement fiasco

[8/10 · 5 August 2021]

This alt-right doc from the notorious Steve Bannon does a harrowingly good job of exposing the more violent and unpleasant aspects of the catastrophic Occupy Movement that hit the country like a plague of locusts in 2011. No big surprise that a sizeable number of participants in said movement were unemployed people, clueless college students, rich trust fund kids pretending to be regular working-class folks, and, most damning, folks who were actually paid to show up at these events who didn't even know what they were about. Moreover, it's both scary and depressing to see the violence and vandalism that happened at these supposedly "peaceful" protests. Andrew Breitbart, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Mandy Nagy, and Anita MonCrief all do an excellent and persuasive job of explaining the more sinister ramifications of the Occupy Movement. A really potent and unsettling documentary.
