Ninja Monkeys Go To Pittsburgh: Hanging with Indymedia @ the G-20

In September 2009, I went with Indymedia to report on the protests surrounding the G-20 Summit, taking place in Pittsburgh, PA.

This personal video looks at police treatment of protesters and the media, including the introduction of the LRAD, the Long Range Acoustic Device or "sonic cannon", as a crowd control tool on the streets of America.

The film finishes with a song from a performance at the Tilsner Artists' Cooperative on 9th October, during the Fall 2009 Saint Paul Art Crawl, two weeks after I returned from PA.
