On September 24, the Occupy Wall Street movement was transformed by police action right outside the theater where The Whale movie was playing. While the movie told its story of connections between species and the nature of friendship, police sprayed the eyes of young women protestors, shocking the world and galvanizing support for the protest. Michael Parfit, The Whale's co-director, was at the theater and filmed events with his iPhone, capturing the moment the women were sprayed and their efforts to recover on the sidewalk and then inside the theater itself. He comments on what he saw and how it relates to the film's story itself.
