“Nine years after the World Trade Organization came to Seattle, a new feature film sets out to dramatize the historic protests that the institution’s meetings provoked. The issue that Battle in Seattle filmmaker Stuart Townsend seeks to raise, as he recently stated, is ‘[what it takes] to create real and meaningful change.’ … Generally speaking, the response of many Americans is to dismiss protests out of hand-arguing that demonstrators are just blowing off steam and won’t make a difference. But if any case can be held as a counter-example, Seattle is it.” (10/05/08) Link: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2008/10/04-2 Filed under: LAND Commentary and RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
