Though the characters in this film are fictional, all of the events are very, very real.
The English subtitles have been re-edited and, though not perfect, the narrative is now flows and, with one or two exceptions, accurately reflects the dialogue.
Oral History Project: Smashing the WTO in Seattle
A discussion with people who were there recalling what happened and how lessons we might have learned then could apply to the struggle now.
In 1999, 50,000 people shut down the meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle despite tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullet attacks from thousands of heavily armed police. Those who were there recall it as the most comprehensive take over and occupation of a city they ever witnessed. How was the action pulled together and why can’t we repeat actions like this?
November’s Long Haul oral history project will discuss the Battle of Seattle with a number of people who were there. The oral history project happens at Long Haul the third Sunday of every month.

Hella Long Haul visioning meeting
Yet another meeting on Sunday – Oct. 30 – 7 pm
We support the occupation and taking up public space to form community, but we also want to continue to cherish and improve the spaces that are solidly (more or less) ours, that we’ve poured love and labor into over the years, so….
An opportunity for the larger Long Haul community who don’t usually come to meetings to discuss what Long Haul should do with the space
– What we’re doing right
– What we could do better
– What we should start doing
– What we should cut out
Have your voice heard!
* The idea is to have a fun, welcoming social space wheere we share thoughts and ideas about the Long Haul, with hopes of consistently improving on it, keeping it relevant, and giving everyone a chance to sound off on it.
