Review of Battle in Seattle (2007) by Geneviève C — 28 Apr 2009

Although the event was an important lesson for future manifestations across the globe, director Stuart Townsend fails to illustrate what his purpose in making the film is. However, as viewers, we understand that the demonstrators are fighting for the population whereas the political leaders are only interested in money.

Another important aspect in the film is that it depicts the WTO issues which are widely criticized, but not everyone is aware of its consequences.

Overall, two things. 1)Townsend should have made a documentary because there is much more to this WTO subject. 2) This film is a big smack in the face with this modern economic crisis!
