Jason, a cameraman on the Occupy LA media team, discusses the excitement and the obstacles he encountered while documenting the social movement against corporate greed, as he and hundreds of others camped on the lawn at Los Angeles City Hall for two months in the autumn of 2011.
Eleven days after this interview was filmed, 1400 police officers forcibly evicted the protestors from their encampment in the early morning hours of November 30, 2011, arresting 290 people in the process.
