OCCUPY LOVE
You Can’t Evict An Idea Who’s Time Has Come
The journey began with SCARED SACRED
The spark ignited with FIERCE LIGHT
The time is now to OCCUPY LOVE
From the Arab Spring to the European Summer, from the Occupy Movement to the global climate justice movement, 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. The old paradigm founded on the greed of the few is collapsing. Endless growth on a finite planet cannot be sustained. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound transformation; millions of people are deciding that enough is enough - the time has come to create a new world that works for all life.
Woven throughout this moving, inspiring film is a deep exploration of the heart of the movement, featuring key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability and empathy.
