'Kilometre 0'
DemandMedia/Big Noise Films
USA/Mexico 2003 50 minutes
From September 10th to September 14th 2003, the WTO barricaded itself
inside of Cancun, Mexico's luxury hotel strip to set the terms along
which our lives would be bought and sold. Tens of thousands of people
came from around the world to rip down their fences and stop the
meetings. By the end of the week the steel barricade was a twisted
wreck and the talks collapsed as delegates from Asia and Africa walked out.
