  • Showdown in Seattle: People Unite, Police Riot (Part 2)

    In part 2 of this 5-part series, direct action blockades by activists delay the beginning of the WTO meetings and are met by Seattle police and barrages of chemical weapons and rubber bullets. Labor launches their big rally and march through Seattle with nearly every labor leader in attendance making their voices heard. A segment on how riot batons are manufactured with graphic illustration of their (mis)use by Seattle police. The show culminates with the Police blockade of the Independent Media Center as curfew falls over an uncertain Seattle.

    1999   TRT: 28 minutes   #290
