Full Plot Details

In late November 1999, masses are descending upon Seattle for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Conference, the first ever held on American soil. Beyond the several delegates, career protesters are also coming to Seattle, they who believe the non-elected organization only exists to support corporate interests at the expense of the poor, working class and the environment among other things. Before the conference, the lead known protesters vow that their demonstrations will be peaceful, while Seattle Mayor Jim Tobin promises that if that be the case that no arrests will be made and no aggressive action, such as the use of tear gas, will be issued. On day one of the conference, tensions on both sides escalate the confrontation between police and protesters, with many innocent people caught in the crossfire. As such, what was promised ends up not happening during the remainder of the conference, where many on both sides work not for the greater good of their side, but rather for their own personal interests because of their experience on day one. These battles outside the official conference are not the only ones happening in Seattle, as many of the conference delegates, such as Doctors Without Borders and those from some of the poorer nations, try to get across the point of many of the protesters - albeit in a more diplomatic method - while seemingly ignored by those in the upper echelon of the organization.

Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Daily News - 9/10 by Gary ThompsonSorely missing is a feeling of immediacy or urgency, undercut by bad dialogue and eye-rolling coincidence.
CinemaBlend - 8/10 by Katey RichBy not necessarily glorifying the activists while agreeing with their cause, writer-director Stuart Townsend creates a multilayered portrait of an eventful five days.
Let's Not Listen - 8/10 by Tricia OlszewskiAn unremarkable and often dull writing and directorial debut.
Sin Magazine - 8/10 by Austin KennedyVery ambitious, the story constantly jumps back and forth, trying to give both sides of the story. I'll say it's mostly successful.
Metromix.com - 7/10 by Matt PaisA tense debut about the need for stern yet peaceful action when so many global frustrations are already primed to blow.
BrianOrndorf.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfWhile stiff where it counts the most, Seattle does stimulate the senses, projecting rage and discontent, reminding the viewer that mobilization is a critical step toward any form of change. It's hard to argue such passion.
ComingSoon.net - 7/10 by Edward DouglasAn ambitious directorial debut from Irish actor Stuart Townsend that does an impressive job recreating the 1999 protests that accompanied the World Trade Organization's arrival in Seattle.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Ethan AlterIf [the film] inspires even one moviegoer to learn more about how an organization like the WTO affects his or her life, then Townsend has performed a valuable public service.
Hollywood.com - 6/10 by Pete HammondThis is a powerful, wrenching and impressive writing and directing debut for the talented actor, definitely now a triple showbiz threat.
Sacramento News & Review - 6/10 by Jonathan KieferBraiding brief snippets of these automatically suspenseful storylines with archival video footage of the actual event, Townsend makes a good point that the thing just got away from all involved.
