15-O Protests in Granada, Spain

These are a few random moments from the protests in Granada, Spain, on Oct. 15. More photos are below. At least 10,000 people attended, and I heard chants that sounded similar to ones I've seen from Occupy Wall Street protesters on TV; also, many protesters held signs that said " We are the 99%" and "No More Evictions". This particular demonstration occurred in around 80 countries, according to some fliers, and huge numbers of people showed, particularly in Madrid. The atmosphere here was amazing.


I am working on a documentary during my year here, and I look forward to understanding the similarities and differences between the movements here and at home. This blog will (hopefully) be updated with footage, photos and other good stuff as I work on this project.
