Seattle, Washington is one of the most desirable places to live. But in November 1999, the city suffers a kick in the groin and a black eye. The unpopular World Trade Organization is having a Ministerial Meeting, an Seattle's Mayor Jim Tobin(Ray Liotta)tries his best to make sure all events go smoothly in his city. In spite of a man to man agreement protesters agreeing to be civil: the peaceful activists intend to stop the WTO talks by barricading an intersection leading to the meetings. Tensions will rise and intentionally or accidentally that section of the city rapidly escalates into a full fledge riot with demonstrators and by standing citizens caught in the crossfire.
The BATTLE IN SEATTLE is tense, engaging and worth your viewing. Director Stuart Townsend merges footage of the actual event with his fictionalized drama in proving that against all odds, ordinary informed citizens can change the world. An outstanding cast featuring: Woody Harrelson, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Andre Benjamin, Martin Henderson, Connie Nelsen and Rade Serbedzja.
