Occupy London
You Can’t Evict An Idea reveals the strengths and weaknesses of leaderless activist groups and 100% consensus decision making. The challenges inherent in using disruptive protest to change the world are as relevant to the climate change protests today (such as Extinction Rebellion) as they were to Occupy in 2011.
Like no other film, You Can’t Evict An idea is made by a camper-protester who shares what she observed about the internal power dynamics within Occupy London, offering invaluable lessons for today’s movements and activists.
The Occupy movement is largely responsible for the far reaching public awareness of the 1%. The 1% is a term that indicated that 1% of the world’s population collectively own most of the world’s wealth and as a consequence yield substantial and yet unaccountable political power.
