SUMMARY:"WTO/99" Film Screening on the Battle of Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the documentary film about the Battle of Seattle\, where 40\,000 activists hit the streets of Seattle\, WA to block a major World Trade Organization conference\, an event seen by many as setting the tone for mass mobilization movements at the start of the century.
