Occupy Unmasked

The bias is so clear and prevalent in this documentary that a message is barely said clearly. The documentary does do a good job showing how unorganized this movement is (which even 'leaders' of anonymous would say that there is no one motive). However, the documentary ends with the narrator screaming at random people to stop raping people. Because two people were raped on the streets being occupied during the long protest he accused all the protesters of rape, screaming "STOP RAPING THE PEOPLE". Are you kidding me? Occupy Wallstreet was not a perfect protest by far but somehow making it seem like some rape driven epidemic is moronic and insensitive. College campuses and prisons have massive issues with rape and its a childish and disrespectful jab to call the occupy protesters rapists.

are you kidding me? this must be the most one sided doc that i have ever seen.. I am not even close to being part of the occupy movement, but understand their reasons... when the main spokes person in here says "occupy are revolutionists and thats not the American way, amercicans help each other" i turned it off... what an ignorant a55.. there was an entire war called the revolutionary war... which started from riots and being mistreated by gov. our founding fathers would be disappointed with how much we are taxed today and how much power the gov has.. if we cant rise up and have a revolution, then we are in a policed state and we have no real rights except the ones the gov gives us.. i don't agree with everything occupy says, but the fact that this doc is out, i am starting the be more sided with occupy

two groups will watch this:

1. Breitbartians who believe his bizarrely vengeful, unrelenting attacks (FBI snitch Brandon Darby* was heavily involved here, with a personal vendetta against his former comrades who (surprise!) voiced anger upon learning of their misplaced trust in a manipulative informant)on the Occupy movement. 2. Occupiers looking for a laugh and a chance to see their friends who were clueless enough to respond to leading "interviews" and were rewarded by being taken out of context.

For the rest of the world--even those who opposed Occupy--the premise that the movement had vast, sinister implications is too silly to spend time on. Whether it be Tea Party or OWS, intensely partisan interests just can't help stretching their distaste for the politics of the OTHER into unbelievable narratives. Those of us who harbor a healthy distrust for our UNrepresentative government won't be swayed by such overt maneuvers to divide and conquer.

*For more on Brandon Darby, I highly recommend the documentary "Better this World"

A biased documentary aimed at discrediting this phenomenon (and the left in general) via misrepresentation and interviewing young protesters who struggle to express themselves.

Statements are made by the presenter such as: "This is how the left goes... These people hate this country... They hate freedom... Hellbent on nihilistic destruction...". Apparently there is a 'secret society' organizing all this. Apparently these people are going to take over our homes and burn down our society. I think they are just confused and disillusioned - and rightly so.

There are many good documentaries describing the issues with the economic system, certain billionaire personality profiles, and the current form of capitalism (Inside Job; Park Avenue etc.). This film does not intelligently debate these issues.

It's obvious there are real problems and capitalism in this form needs to change. Of course HOW this might happen is very difficult to imagine, so I don't blame the Left for this.

It would be good to hear something from the Right, but this is just blatant propaganda. At least this is obvious, but I worry it is not to less educated people.

Before you watch this movie, consider who made it. Citizens United is a conservative right organization, and the film makes the Occupy Wall Street movement out to be a group of left anarchists who hate America. While the footage reveals some disturbing truths about the movement and its participants, I cringe to think of the people who watch the movie under the guise that this film is a completely accurate analysis -- it is propaganda. Videos from the protests show that the movement was indeed dirty, chaotic, unfocused, and participants often came off as unintelligent. But do be skeptical of the things the commentators chalk it up to be, because they obviously have their own agenda.
