Battle in Seattle

Directed by Stuart Townsend

With Martin Henderson, Michelle Rodriguez, Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Carpenter

Thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 (World Trade Organization). Although it began as a peaceful protest with a goal of stopping the WTO talks, it escalated into a full-scale riot and eventually, a State of Emergency that pitted protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.
