Occupation (2002)

45m; U.S.

Director: Maple Razsa

Synopsis: Chronicles the 2001 Harvard living wage sit-in.

Contact: Pacho Velez 617-669-7832 http://www.enmassefilms.org/promo.html I am planning on coming to a progressive Jewish student conference to build my list of possible campus showings around the country. But I’m afraid that I’m coming at very short notice (I’ll be in DC next weekend and probably for the monday and tuesday following). I’d love to do some other campus showings so we’re talking to people at American, Johns Hopkins and Loyola. If you have other ideas of possible showings during that period I’d be glad to present. I’d also love your advice on labor forums/festivals that would be receptive to Occupation. Thanks, Maple Razsa (617)852-6304 cel
