WTO Seattle from A Year in the Streets

Flash back to the turbulent year 2000. In a time before the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, people had the courage to take to the streets and demand real change.
Watch as Cascadia Media Collective camera crews document a wave of outrage and hope that swept the country, from the N30 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle, to the Democratic National Convention in LA, all the way to Prague and back again to Washington DC for the Bush Inauguration. Along the way, check out a series of local demonstrations about everything from old growth logging and the gravel quarry on River Road to animal rights at the circus and justice for Mumia Abu Jamal. And finally, observe the response of the police, when people actually use their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech and assembly." - Portland IMC
