JG: Are you calling for a revolution?
MM: I think the revolution is already taking place. I think there’s a revolt that is simmering just beneath the surface
And now the 2011 #Occupy movement has inspired Michael Moore to make a new documentary:
For the sake of context, it’s important to mention the conclusion of his last film, Capitalism: A Love Story; there, he said that his days of making documentaries were over, at least until people began to take action. Cut to two years later, and his website told visitors that they’re “about to witness the end of Capitalism: A Love Story.” He’s probably referring to Occupy Wall St. as the end, but one thing seems to lead to another here.
When asked about the project’s content, Moore said the following:
” I’m not gonna tell you what I’m going to do film-wise, but it will be something that’s not being addressed.
It will be funny and shocking and hopefully will help move the ball down the field.
And as long as I am one among many … That is why I love going down to Occupy Wall Street. Because I stand there with hundreds as part of this general assembly, and I am one voice. If feels so much better to me to have hundreds of other people sharing in that and saying, “We’re all going to put the yoke on our shoulders and carry this forward.”
