DESCRIPTION:The documentary WTO/99, an archival film that reanimates the clash between 
 the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the more than 40,000 
 protestors on the streets of Seattle in 1999. It has been described as "An 
 immersive experience exposing the myopic machinations of politicians and 
 corporate interests in the face of democratic, nonviolent protests, it’s 
 also breathtakingly prescient; a preview of present-day American politics, 
 injustice, and the consolidation of power."\n\nOur film is screening on 
 Jan. 28 at the Roxie Theater\n\n Here is a ticket link\n\nHere is a link to 
 the trailer\n\nI really hope anyone here can make it out. It means a lot to 
 a totally independent production like ours.\n\n"WTO/99 brilliantly makes 
 the case for the Seattle WTO protests as a watershed moment in modern 
 history—one with urgent significance in understanding issues we face 
 today. The militarization of the police, the proliferation of right-wing 
 media and fake news, the collapse of our democracy into fascism, and the 
 ever-growing power of multinational corporations all seem to be taking hold 
 before our eyes in this film. WTO/99 accomplishes this convincingly and 
 artfully, seamlessly weaving together primary sources in a bravura manner"
