early reviews for democracy:
-------------------
"THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE is a truly ground-breaking
accomplishment. With beautiful graphics, a passionate narrative, and
stunning writing, it is a powerful embodiment of the spirit of the
protests."
-Naomi Klein, Columnist and author of NO LOGO
------------------
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE weaves together gripping video with
narration by SUSAN SARANDON and music by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to tell
the real story of what happened in the streets of Seattle during the 1999
WTO protests.
With more cameras on the street than any other media organization, the
Independent Media Center (IMC) coordinated hundreds of media activists and
collected more than 300 hours of video footage during the WTO protests.
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE, a co-production of the IMC and Big
Noise Films, weaves the footage of over 100 videographers into a gripping
document of what really happened on Seattles streets. The film cuts
through the confusion and tear gas to paint an intimate, passionate
portrait of a week that changed the world. With narration by SUSAN
SARANDON and SPEARHEADs MICHAEL FRANTI, and with a driving soundtrack
including RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, DJ SHADOW, DJ MUSAKA, and COMPANY OF
PROPHETS, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE is the first documentary to
capture the raw energy of the WTO protests, while clarifying their global
and historic significance.
"[THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE] conveys a vivid, you-are-there
immediacy."
-The Seattle Weekly
"This is What Democracy Looks Like is a passionate, intense and deeply
moving account of the extraordinary demonstrations at the WTO meeting in
Seattle in 1999. . . As the winds of change blow ever stronger across this
land, This is What Democracy Looks Like can be regarded as the documentary
account of the first great democratic political struggle of the 21st
century."
-Robert W. McChesney, author, Rich Media, Poor Democracy
