This is an impressive fictional account of the WTO protests in Seattle a decade ago, impressive in its dramatic decisions, giving a broad range of views and viewpoint characters, putting a human face on conflict and violence in the streets. Captures the chaos of street violence well. Doesn't take easy sides or make simplistic idealogical choices that would turn it into propaganda. You know where its heart is but you also see the complications and contradictions involved. Its ending message is "the battle continues." Here, in a small portion of its past, the battle is given more human face than often is done in political drama out to make a point.
