If only U.S. television could be so enlightened (not that Canadian TV wins
any free speech awards). But, imagine such a program airing here in the
states just days prior to a major demonstration - impossible. If you have
contacts in Canada - please forward.

REVOLUTION THROUGH THE EYES OF 100 VIDEO CAMERAS
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE weaves together
gripping video with narration by SUSAN SARANDON and
music by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to tell the real
story of what happened in the streets of Seattle
during the 1999 WTO protests.
With more cameras on the street than any other media
organization, the Independent Media Center (IMC)
coordinated hundreds of media activists and collected
more than 300 hours of video footage during the WTO
protests.
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE, a co-production of
the IMC and Big Noise Films, weaves the footage of
over 100 videographers into a gripping document of
what really happened on Seattles streets. The film
cuts
through the confusion and tear gas to paint an
intimate, passionate portrait of a week that changed
the world. With narration by SUSAN SARANDON and
SPEARHEADs MICHAEL FRANTI, and with a driving
soundtrack including RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, DJ
SHADOW, DJ MUSAKA, and COMPANY OF PROPHETS, THIS IS
WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE is the first documentary to
capture the raw energy of the WTO protests, while
clarifying their global and historic significance.
---------------
"This is What Democracy Looks Like is a passionate,
intense and deeply moving account of the extraordinary
demonstrations at the WTO meeting in Seattle in 1999.
. . As the winds of change blow ever stronger across
this
land, This is What Democracy Looks Like can be
regarded as THE documentary account of t he first
great democratic political struggle of the 21st
century."
-Robert W. McChesney, author, Rich Media, Poor
