The Public

 
An unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.

not what i was expecting. starts well. gets interesting. and then shit hits the fan and it's all downhill from there. this movie made some sense if it was based in the 90s or even early 2000s. in 2019... they have live streaming feature in almost every social media app. and they had to send recorded video to a reporter to get the message out to the public? so many flaws in the second half of the movie. but it was still quite fun to watch.
