Anyone remember when Seattle hosted the 1999 WTO meeting? Remember the chaos that ensued, the riots? If not, this film will help jog your memory.
BATTLE IN SEATTLE
Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Battle in Seattle takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest on the World Trade Organization. What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off the protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.
Starring: Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Michelle Rodriguez, Andre Benjamin.
