About the movie
Characters: Judy Heumann (played by Ruth Madeley) and a government bureaucrat (played by Mark Ruffalo). Situation: In 1977 a young disabled woman and a scrappy coalition of outsiders occupy a federal building. Central conflict: hundreds seize government offices and refuse to leave until the bureaucrat takes action, forcing accidental movement leaders to struggle to find a path forward. The impulsive takeover grows into the longest occupation of a federal building in American history as organizers confront bureaucracy and uncertainty.
