OCCUPY LOVE SYNOPSIS

 

A profound shift is taking place: humanity is waking up to the fact that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. Join Velcrow on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, “How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?”

 

Featuring captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond, Occupy Love shows that love can unite as much as greed can divide.

 

Occupy Love is the culmination of Ripper's Fierce Love Trilogy which began with Scared Sacred, named one of Canada’s Top 10 movies of 2004, and winner of the 2005 Genie (Canadian Academy Award) for best feature documentary. It continued with 2008′s award winning Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action.

 

“Occupy Love is the movie I have been waiting to make, all my life,” says director Velcrow Ripper. “Today’s global awakening is what my earlier films have been anticipating and fostering – a current of potential that was pulsing and rumbling just below the surface. As the popular Occupy sign reads, The Beginning is Here.”

 

Occupy Love is a moving, transformative, heartfelt film, featuring Ripper’s signature stunning visuals and rich soundscapes. A powerful cinematic experience that will leave audiences inspired.

 

Occupy Loves opens in New York City with an exclusive engagement at Cinema Village Friday, May 3 – Thursday, May 9, 2013. Events and discussions with directors, producers and cast to follow all weekend screenings.
