Review of This Is What Democracy Looks Like (2000) by Lee K — 04 Jul 2008
This is a really touching documentary about the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle--perhaps the only U.S.A. protest of the last decade or so that will live in infamy. The Seattle police are depicted as absolutely brutal and out of control--and Thomas L.
Friedman should stick that in his pipe and smoke it! The documentary does suffer from severe one-sided POV and because the footage was shot by 100 or so activists on the ground, there is a lot of variety--so this story of the actual protest comes across as somewhat jumbled and the video quality gets a little shoddy.
Susan Sarandon is one of two narrators.
