WTO/99

Milwaukee Film Festival

An immersive archival documentary that reanimates the 1999 "Battle of Seattle"—a clash heard round the world between the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the more than 40,000 people who took to the streets of Seattle in protest. As timely as ever, this meditation on the past remains essential viewing for those who care about the environment, human rights, and labor 25+ years on in a new moment for activism.

Preceded by THE THIN BLUE WAVE

 

Guests are expected for Q&As following both screenings.

Community Partners: Feral House
