I Love Mountains Day: Film Screening of #whilewewatch
Monday, February 13, 2012 - 7:15pm
Join us for I Love Mountains Day
Celebrate the marchers coming from Prestonsburg, KY, and participate in an interactive film screening of #whilewewatch.
#whilewewatch is the gripping portrait of the #OccupyWallSt media revolution. Citizens came together at Zuccotti Park with energy, intelligence and guts to impassion their message,
"We are the 99%."
#whilewewatch discovers the #OWS media team who had no fear of a critical city government, big corporations, hostile police, or a lagging main stream media to tell their story.
Through rain, snow, grueling days, sleeping on concrete; they pumped out exhilarating ideas to the world. Fueled with little money, they relied on the power of Twitter, texting, Wi-Fi, posters, Tumblr, live streams, YouTube, Facebook, dramatic marches, drumbeats and chants.
We witness a new dawn with the power of social media.
Kevin Breslin
Director of #whilewewatch, will be joining via live stream.
"I care about the person on the other side of the lens and never underestimate their importance."
