A B O U T T H E F I L M :
Last April, 48 members of the Harvard Living Wage Campaign stormed the
university's main administration building to protest Harvard's labor
policies and demand wage increases and benefits for the schools lowest
paid workers. After 21 days of rallies, civil disobedience, and community
organizing by workers, unions, students, and faculty, the University
agreed to substantive improvements in working conditions. Making use of
student footage shot before and during the sit-in as well as news
coverage, archival footage, and worker portraits, Occupation follows the
story of the Living Wage Campaign and the longest sit-in in Harvard
history. The documentary links the schools labor policies to those of the
corporate executives that run it and gives special attention to the
effects of low wages on workers and their families
W H A T T H E C R I T I C S A R E S A Y I N G :
"The inspiring story of the Living Wage campaign at Harvard should be told
to the whole country, so it is a wonderful gift to have it on film, in a
way that brings alive the remarkable solidarity of students, workers, and
the community." Howard Zinn
"Those who are earning Harvard degrees took a moral stand against growing
inequality and in doing so created what will become an important milestone
in the 21st century fight for economic justice." John Sweeney, President
AFL-CIO, The Guardian (London), May 29, 2001
"Unabashed agit-prop." Gerald Peary, Boston Pheonix
