DESCRIPTION:It is 2011. Three years into the global financial crisis, there is a 
 growing sense that political and economic elites sold out the people. In 
 response, a wave of revolutions spreads from North Africa to Europe, and 
 even the United States.\n\nIn New York City a small group of activists meet 
 in the NYC General Assembly to discuss the possibility of 
 #OccupyWallStreet. On September 17th they go to the financial district and 
 occupy Zuccotti Park. They rename it Liberty Square.\n\nThe square is a 
 liberated space. Assemblies are held to make collective decisions, working 
 groups are formed to meet basic needs such as food and shelter. A new world 
 is being built and anything seems possible.\n\nIn a matter of weeks there 
 are over one thousand occupations formed across the globe. The activists 
 soon find themselves in the center of a growing movement.\n\nThey face many 
 external challenges including the media, the unions, political parties, and 
 police violence. However, it is the internal challenges that they cannot 
 overcome.\n\nThe non-fiction feature film, All Day All Week: An Occupy Wall 
 Street Story, tells the story of OWS from the perspective of those who 
 lived it. Filmed by and in conversation with participants, the film offers 
 a glimpse inside the daily life of occupation as well as reflections on the 
 experience.\n\nDirector Marisa Holmes will be available for Q and A after 
 the film.\n\nDonation - no one turned away for lack of funds\n\nMarisa 
 Holmes is a documentary filmmaker and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. Since a 
 young age she has used media for social justice. She holds a BFA in Film, 
 Video and New Media from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where 
 she received a 100 Projects for Peace grant from the Kathryn Wasserman 
 Davis foundation. She also has a MFA in Integrated Media from Hunter 
 College.\n\nHolmes has covered social movements in the US and 
 internationally with particular interest in the aftermath of the 2011 
 uprisings. Her work has appeared in such outlets as the InternationaL 
 Times, Truthout.org, Waging Nonviolence, Al Jazeera, and PBS, as well as 
 the AK Press compilation We are Many: Reflections on Movement Strategy from 
 Occupation to Liberation.\n\nAs a participant and media maker Holmes 
 believes strongly that people must tell their own stories. Thus, she 
 decided to make a film about her own experience in Occupy Wall Street. All 
 Day All Week: An Occupy Wall Street Story is her first feature film.\n
