Battle in Seattle

Six lives, six battles, one city.

A politically engaged ensemble drama about idealistic activists confronting state power during the 1999 Seattle WTO protests, balancing personal stakes with systemic conflict.

Thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 (World Trade Organization). Although it began as a peaceful protest with a goal of stopping the WTO talks, it escalated into a full-scale riot and eventually, a State of Emergency that pitted protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.
