Rise Like Lions: OWS and the Seeds of Revolution (2011)

12

Scott Noble pulls together a combination of internet and original footage to create the first feature-length documentary on Occupy Wall St, telling the story and motivation behind the movement in its own words. It is a treatise to the beautiful awakening of human heart and hope that has arisen in the American people, capturing the imagination and dreams of a new generation's struggle to create a better world.

Scott Noble releases all of his films online for free, but they do cost a fair bit to produce. If you're able and appreciate his work, consider supporting the production of the filmmaker's next film with a monthly donation on Patreon. 

"Rise like Lions after slumber 
In unvanquishable number - 
Shake your chains to earth like dew 
Which in sleep had fallen on you - 
Ye are many - they are few.' 

- Percy Bysshe Shelley
