A complex portrait of the people and organizations that all converged in Seattle in 1999, Stuart Townsend’s Battle in Seattle has all the ingredients of a necessary film that could inspire social action. From what I can tell in the trailer, it appears as thought the activists are painted in a positive light and the tiny clip of the cops in Chicago 1968 that appears at the beginning gives me hope that the film will also explore the cops actions in an honest way.
Townsend is my one concern - he’s never directed before, and I am always a bit weary of the actor turned director who gets to make a movie because he can get all his movie star friends to act in it.
But the subject is amazing, so I hope the film is too!
And on the note of Chicago 1968, takepart and get involved with our social action plan for Chicago 10 - you can find out awesome ways to encourage people to make their voice heard and vote!
