This Is What Democracy Looks Like (2000)

In the chilly autumn of 1999, the city streets of Seattle, Washington morph into a canvas of dissent and resistance. This film captures the raw energy and emotion of thousands who gathered to voice their outrage against the World Trade Organization summit. Through the lenses of over 100 amateur camera operators, we witness the magnitude of this extraordinary public uprising. Protestors from all corners of the globe unite to rebuke the WTO's unchecked authority to override nations' environmental, social, and labor legislations to serve the insatiable appetite of corporate avarice. However, their path is riddled with obstacles. A relentless police force, a biased media, and a sprinkling of excessively violent comrades stain their fight for justice. These odds only serve to bolster the protesters' courage, who refuse to yield, standing firmly against the formidable political and corporate juggernaut, resolute in their quest to reclaim the democratic power that has been unjustly usurped from the common man. This film is an unfiltered portrayal of the struggle of ordinary people against the forces hell-bent on muffling their voices and denying their rights.
