The Occupy Wall Street protest movement against economic dichotomy is over except on video.

“#ReGENERATION: the Politics of Apathy and Activism” recounts the movement. The Wichita State Sociology Club is sponsoring a showing of the film at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Linquist Hall Room 100.

“It actually is a documentary that profiles the Occupy Movement,” Jodie Hertzog, chair of the Sociology Department and assistant professor, said.

She said that movement is a basis for portraying the ideas of social movements.

“It ties to a lot of concepts of social stratification, social economic and social movement,” Hertzog said.

Nick Wyant, research and information service librarian at Albah Library, buys a lot academically researched videos for the university. It’s in the hundreds.

“They are all very high quality produced videos,” he said. “It’s not just two guys with a camera.”

Wyant said he buys most of the videos following a faculty member’s request. All of them are available to be checked out from the library.

He said the videos represent a change in how education takes place and how students can learn.

“It gives students multiple ways to learn,” Wyant said. “It’s a multi-media approach to education.”

He said the videos range in topics.

“’Red Moon’ is about menstruation and how it stigmatizes our society,” Wyant said. “’Asking for It’ by Harry Brod is about sexual consent.”

He said the library’s video collection is different because it is education oriented as opposed to the videos rented and sold by corporations, which are popularity oriented. 

Wyant said more than 800 videos are available through the library’s website for viewing for students with a valid WSU ID, a password and are currently enrolled.

“Google is great for finding a local scratch donut shop, but it’s not good for finding good peer reviewed academic research,” he said. “Some students who have never been on campus use our resources extensively. They use our electronic databases.”

Hertzog appreciates having the opportunity to show the videos.

“These types of videos bring issues to life,” she said. “They are discussed in the classroom. It allows students to apply what they are learning in class to real life situations.”

Wyant said some more popular videos, such as “North Country,” starring Charlize Theron, address the issue of women trying to enter male-dominated jobs. In that film, it is the coal industry.

“They have themes in them,” he said.

The educational videos are expensive.

Wyant said some of them cost $300. He said they are worth the cost for their educational value and would be more worth it if more people would watch them.

“I’d like to see our students use (more of) our resources period,” he said.

He said the library does have a lot of popular videos bought by the Student Government Association.
