On November 13, 2011, the people of Portland took to the streets to defend the Occupy Portland encampment from eviction by the police. Shot at night, Occupy Portland Eviction Defense shows college students, union members, and working people protesting economic inequalities with general assemblies and direct action. Live feeds of the Occupy Portland movement showing thousands of activists contradict mainstream media claims that only seventy-five remained at the site. Portland police arrive on horses in riot gear, but protesters push back.
