Screening: WTO/99

Join us for a screening the film WTO/99 from director Ian Bell, an immersive archival documentary that depicts the four-day clash between the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the 40,000+ people who took to the streets of Seattle in 1999 to protest the WTO Conference and the WTO’s impact on human rights, labor, and the future effects of continued globalization. Learn about this crucial bit of social movement history, now more relevant than ever. A conversation with producer Alex Megaro and scholar AK Thompson to follow.
