WTO/99

Smitten Kitten presents WTO/99.
50% of all ticket sales go to local mutual aid group Neighbors Helping Neighbors.

Featuring an intro by Anne Lehman of Smitten Kitten and post-screening Q&A with WTO/99 Producer/Editor Alex Megaro.

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.

"WTO/99 brilliantly makes the case for the Seattle WTO protests as a watershed moment in modern history—one with urgent significance in understanding issues we face today. The militarization of the police, the proliferation of right-wing media and fake news, the collapse of our democracy into fascism, and the ever-growing power of multinational corporations all seem to be taking hold before our eyes in this film. WTO/99 accomplishes this convincingly and artfully, seamlessly weaving together primary sources in a bravura manner" - Eric Allen Hatch
