Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Battle in Seattle takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization. What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off peaceful and unarmed protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.

For the record, I don't mind taking one for the team and heading down to the Bahamas to screen this movie. I promise I would bring back a full, detailed report (and maybe some cute little drinks with umbrellas in them). I'm just putting that out there... ;-D
