Free Admission, $10 suggested donation at the door benefiting Neighbors Helping Neighbors . Reserve your seats now to guarantee admission! LINK. WTO/99 is a 100% archival documentary that reanimates the 1999 clash between the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the 40,000+ people who took to the streets of Seattle to protest the WTO's impact on human rights, the environment, labor, and the future impacts of continued globalization. "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" - Eric Allen Hatch Post-screening Q&A with WTO/99's Producer/Editor Alex Megaro. Moderated by Alec and Rachel!
