Be The Media! workshop: documentary film making with pre-existing media
October 16, 2026 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT
WTO/99 is 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. Join filmmaker Alex Megaro in an intimate workshop to discuss using archival footage in the creation of this documentary film. This workshop will be hybrid, and registrants will be sent a zoom link 24h before the workshop.
Workshop attendees will be fed a communal meal ahead of the film screening of WTO/99 at 7pm.
Register for the 7pm “WTO/99” Film Screening on the Battle of Seattle
