About the Film
It's November 1999, and five days are about to rock the world as tens of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets of Seattle to protest the World Trade Organization's meetings. Among them are Django (André Benjamin), Sam (Jennifer Carpenter), Lou (Michelle Rodriguez) and Jay (Martin Henderson). Each has a unique story, but they're united in a common desire to be heard and to make a difference in the world. When 50,000 union members led the charge on a rainy November 30, 1999 in Seattle to speak truth to the power of the world’s biggest corporations, history was made. A devastating plan to expand the WTO’s power and the reign of corporate globalization over our lives was derailed. An all-star cast, including Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Michelle Rodriguez, Martin Henderson, Andre Benjamin and Channing Tatum celebrates that labor victory when Steelworkers and Teamsters, Longshoremen and the trades joined together with environmental and social justice activists to make their voices heard.
