The Not Wives

Description:

The Not Wives traces the lives of three women as they navigate the Occupy Wall Street movement and each other. In the midst of economic collapse and class conflict, late-night hookups and polyamorous girlfriends, they piece together a new American identity of resistance--against financial precarity, gentrifying New York, and the traditional role of a wife.
