KOMO 4 covers the May 22, 2008 gala opening of "Battle In Seattle" at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF).

The 2008 movie "Battle In Seattle" centers around a 1999 demonstration which took place during the World Trade Organization (WTO) summit in Seattle, Washington. Riots, drama, and chaos are a result of this intense, highly-publicized movement. The film was written and directed by Stuart Townsend, beau of Charlize Theron, who also stars in the film along with Andre 'Andre 3000' Benjamin, Martin Henderson, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Ivana Milicevic, Michelle Rodriguez, Joshua Jackson, Connie Nielsen, and Channing Tatum.

  • though to get a true sense of what happened, you have to talk to a veteran, and I use that word on purpose because for those 3 days, Seattle was a Warzone. People died at that event.

  • It was an interesting film, it did the best job I think a Hollywood film could do at portraying the chaos and ultimately the sheer courage of the demonstrators. As far as actual events go, the actual protest scenes that were filmed for the movie (they also had some authentic footage) were quite inaccurate and left out a lot of important details. As far as what was going on behind the scenes of the demonstrations goes, the legal battle fought for the protesters was very accurate.

  • Sounds like Charlize is loosing her voice, lol...

  • Until YouTube i knew nothing about this.
