SYNOPSIS:

tells the tragic situation that took place at the meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in 1999, where some 100,000 protesters wreaked havoc on the city. During those days, tens of thousands of people took by assault the streets in protest against the powerful supranational organization. What began as a peaceful anti-globalization protests, demanding the cessation of the WTO conference, it became a riot, which eventually forced to proclaim a state of emergency, which led to the adoption of a stance of fighting against the Seattle Police Department and National Guard by a mass of unarmed peaceful protesters. From these facts, "Battle in Seattle intertwines different points of view of society, from the protesters and police to delegates involved in the conference and those who intentionally or accidentally, were involved in pitched battle on the streets of Seattle.

CRITICAL:

This film recounts a crucial awareness of the world about yourself, as you stated in the synopsis thousands of people committed to the most diverse struggles against the injustices that plague the Earth from environmentalists, trade unionists, humanitarian organizations, movimiento anarchists pacifists were cited in Seattle to protest against one of the most perverse world organizations, the WTO (World Trade Organization) is not unique. Others such as the IMF, World Bank are on their backs million dead (and enslaved and impoverished people) throughout the world.
remember when these events occurred, I think I left and I tend to read (or browse) the periodic time time. The opinion I formed of them was that they were a gang of hooligans, only later after the reading of Chomsky and others I know you're in the game. I say this as an example of misinformation to which we have subjected the media, especially television. This also appears in the film.
The film is very comprehensive on the subject, a great testimony about the facts, but the need to dramatize and make emotional elements that engage the viewer, makes the message is confusing if not previously know you are speaking. On the other hand the images of action and violence are a little loose in relation to what happened there, 100,000 protesters, state of siege the flooded city of tear gas, detained more than 600 ... etc., note that there was not much money for special effects, but in the end the viewer is not conscious also entertain.
won the Seattle anti-globalization, but no doubt that almost 10 years from now, there has been no victory but, contrary to accumulate defeat after defeat, the last this shocking financial crisis plunges the world if we will not have more than deserved BY asshole!!
