Battle in Seattle Page #6

Synopsis: In late November 1999, masses are descending upon Seattle for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Conference, the first ever held on American soil. Beyond the several delegates, career protesters are also coming to Seattle, they who believe the non-elected organization only exists to support corporate interests at the expense of the poor, working class and the environment among other things. Before the conference, the lead known protesters vow that their demonstrations will be peaceful, while Seattle Mayor Jim Tobin promises that if that be the case that no arrests will be made and no aggressive action, such as the use of tear gas, will be issued. On day one of the conference, tensions on both sides escalate the confrontation between police and protesters, with many innocent people caught in the crossfire. As such, what was promised ends up not happening during the remainder of the conference, where many on both sides work not for the greater good of their side, but rather for their own

You are not here.

You okay?

Let's get out of here.

Do not worry, we'll leave.

What? What?

- What Django always says?

- I do not know.

Come on! What Django always say?

No.

Slow and steady wins the

race, ever.

What the f*** you want, Django?

Look around you, man.

I know it's tough now.

But you have to remain strong, man.

His brothers out there fighting for you.

Fighting for us all.

Come on, man.

Moreover, to a week ago

nobody knew what the WTO was.

Now...

still do not know what the WTO is, but...

At least you know who is bad, you know?

How long we are trying to

save this planet?

- Not so long ago.

- It is still a mess, eh?

Oh, yeah.

I love you.

Earlier this week,

came here with the hope

in our hearts to try

find better solutions

for our country.

Promised that this meeting

would be different from last time.

That our concerns

would be heard.

We will not be

treated like animals.

The manipulation of the countries

the 3rd World

is simply another way

of colonialism!

They may try to silence me,

but I have to continue to say:

Let the demonstrators

outside are heard!

We have been blind and marginalized,

on matters of vital importance.

Honesty and openness

does not exist here.

So we have reached a

consensus required

to meet the target

this conference.

We will not be doing nothing

while our countries

are abused and exploited!

The people united will never be defeated!

The people united will never be defeated!

- All from within!

- All from within!

- We have two messages for you!

- We have two messages for you!

- And we think will like!

- And we think will like!

- The first message says:

- The first message says:

- An incredible collapse!

- An incredible collapse!

- The WTO talks!

- The WTO talks!

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

Little by little!

I told you!

World Trade Organization.

We are back to 18 hours

with more breaking news.

- Second message:

- Second message:

- You will like this, Jay

- You will like this, Jay

- All prisoners will be released!

- All prisoners will be released!

Oh, good!

Where you going in such a hurry?

Gotta go.

Do you run?

See you in the coming year.

April 16.

All right!

Drink for me!

What the hell are you doing here?

I am happy to see you too.

A below and a million ahead.

Governments will never be

caught up with the defense low.

Two miles of areas excluded

return to international meetings

as the WTO and the G8,

giving people oppressed,

the right to disagree.

The WTO recognizes that access to

essential medicines should

precedence over commercial interests.

The WTO agrees that they should meet

the needs of the poorest countries.

Developing countries emerged,

after it has become clear,

that the real program is

expand the model broke the WTO.

Lee Hyung Kae, leader

Federation of Korean

Association's

Advanced Farmers,

sacrificed for itself in protest.

While the WTO floods,

local markets with imports,

40,000 Indian farmers committed

suicide to escape their debts.

Over 36 million people in

contact in the world are part of

largest protest in history against

war in Iraq.

By 2007, little progress has been

made regarding the promises

in Doha, including access to

essential medicines.

Market in poor countries,

have not been met.

Millions of jobs of the U.S.A.

are abroad, wages fall,

and imports of food

contaminated climb.

But that has not stopped the people, to try

make another world possible.

Everywhere

The battle continues...
