that film sucks, the only good bit is where the cop mentions his wife had a mischarriage! (GOAL!)

at least show a documentary on the WTO summit, and the summit hopping movement with a bit of riot porn, thats what you need, not crap middlclasss wanabe actors!

Don't re-write history

It weren't the Battle of Seattle that kicked it all off. That's a re-write by yer Naomi Kleins. In the West at least the first big one was J18 - the Carnival against Capitalism - happy days!
