SYNOPSIS

OCCUPY LOVE captures the heart of the movement of movements that is sweeping the planet in response to today’s economic and environmental crises. Acclaimed filmmaker Velcrow Ripper travels to todays history-making hot spots, asking the question, ‘How can crisis create a love story?’

Scenes include the Egyptian revolution in Tahrir Square, Spain’s Indignado movement, Occupy Wall Street NYC and native activists at the Alberta Tar Sands. Woven throughout the moving, action oriented backbone of the story, is a deep exploration of the heart of the movement, the meaning of love, and concrete examples of just what “another world” could look like, featuring some of the world’s key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy.

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