Uploaded on March 21, this history of the Occupy Wall Street movement has already gone viral among members of the occupation.  The latest episode in Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines series, “History of an Occupation” depicts the definitive history of Occupy Wall Street, from its early days through the movement's rapid spread up to the brutal November crackdown by state authorities.

“The movement has created a space within the American consciousness to believe in a different type of political power - one controlled not by politicians or corporate money, but by people taking action with the hope of transforming a country they think is in dire need of change,” the narrator intones.

Indeed, Lisa Fithian, an OWS organizer, describes an infectious activism that keeps demonstrators returning to occupations and marches, and this repeat attendance is what fuels the movement.

"There's no way to put the genie back in the box,” she said.
