Synopsis
On May 15th, 2011, everything changed, or maybe nothing. Tens of thousands of citizens occupied streets and squares in Spain for what was going to be the beginning of the biggest social change in Spanish society and in the minds of the people as well. Or maybe not… And it wasn’t a single 15M movement; there were many 15M movements, as many as there were people involved. 15M: Excellent. A Wake-Up Call. Important. follows one such experience in Madrid. Not the most important or the most spectacular. Just one.
