Where were you on November 30, 1999?
Whether you were among the 50,000 people who made history in the streets of Seattle, or observing from around the world, that day marked a critical turning point in the struggle for economic justice. The Seattle WTO protests are cause for celebration!
Last year, Global Trade Watch teamed up with the film's producers and the United Steelworkers to create this special edition two-disc exclusive package. As well as amazing footage of those historic days and excerpts from the main rallies and events, the professionally produced exclusive second disc includes new feature shorts:
- How the Seattle WTO Protests Changed the World
- The Battle Continues: A Message from Labor and Governmental Leaders
- Looking Forward: The TRADE Act
The feature film Battle in Seattle tells the story of the now-famous Seattle protests that rocked the world. It follows the lives of a dozen characters thrown together by plan and by fate in the tumult of the WTO protests. Starring Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Channing Tatum, Martin Henderson, Andre Benjamin, Ray Liotta, and Michelle Rodriguez, this riveting film is entertaining and compelling. Despite great reviews, no big movie corporation would distribute it. It had a limited run in movie theaters, but now you can have your own copy - and second disc of exclusive features and documentary footage.
In celebration,
