A 2007 political action-thriller written and directed by Stuart Townsend is a fictionalized account of the 1999 Seattle protests of the WTO Ministerial Conference due to wealth gaps.
The movie stars Martin Henderson, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Connie Nielsen, Ray Liotta, Tzi Ma, Ivana Miličević, Channing Tatum, and Jennifer Carpenter, among others.
It was released on September 8, 2007.
Tropes for the film:
- The '90s: Takes place in 1999 when the protests start.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Mayor Jim Tobin (Liotta) is based on real life mayor Paul Schell and the fictional governor (Tzi Ma) is based on then Washington Governor Gary Locke.
- Tagline:"The whole world is watching".
