Hey guys, didn't see anything on 'Battle In Seattle' posted here. Anyhoo, went to see an early screening, wondered if anyone else knows much about it? All in all without giving too much away, it was a decent little film. Here's some info: 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. Opens October 17, 2008 |
