"American Autumn impresses most where many docs disappoint, expanding its scope
without short-changing the wider subjects it covers."

In this gripping first-hand account of the Occupy Wall Street movement, filmmaker and former high school teacher Dennis Trainor Jr. takes an inside look at how a New York-based protest against corporate greed and economic inequality in the autumn of 2011 sparked a full-scale street revolution that continues to send shock waves through the American political system.
American Autumn weaves commentary from organizers, activists, and leading progressive thinkers with riveting street-level dispatches from New York's Zuccotti Park, Washington DC, and beyond. The result is a passionate and clear-eyed look at a movement founded on the core belief that the American political and economic system should "place human need above corporate greed" and do something about growing inequality.
Narrated by Trainor, the documentary features filmmaker Michael Moore, Dr. Cornel West (Princeton University), comic/author/activist Lee Camp, journalists Nathan Schneider (Harper's, The Nation), Naomi Klein (The Nation), and more.

While it's pure de a.o.k. in our society to have a weapon of mass carnage strapped your hip in view of your Second Amendment rights, the insolence of protesting corporate greed and economic inequality as freedom of speech under the First Amendment is nonsense which will not be tolerated and punished accordingly. 
It's in production...
And welcome to D.U.! 
I had hoped Moore would have made the Occupy movie (I can imagine it 
) but perhaps not having his stamp on it will silence the detractors.
