Watch: Battle in Seattle 2007 123movies, Full Movie Online – 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 personal interests because of their experience on day one. These battles outside the official conference are not the only ones happening in Seattle, as many of the conference delegates, such as Doctors Without Borders and those from some of the poorer nations, try to get across the point of many of the protesters – albeit in a more diplomatic method – while seemingly ignored by those in the upper echelon of the organization..
Plot: Thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 (World Trade Organization). Although it began as a peaceful protest with a goal of stopping the WTO talks, it escalated into a full-scale riot and eventually, a State of Emergency that pitted protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.

a half right look at the WTO riots
I was at the battle in seattle…all 4 days of it….they cant get the days or times right….the gassing didn’t start till after 5 pm in the afternoon on N30 not during lunchtime, we didn’t march on the jail till December 3rd not December 2nd, and the Broadway and Pine Riots or as we locals call it the city sanctioned gay bashing wasn’t started because of a cop flipping out but rather when a few people started shaking the police car with a cop in it…they don’t bring up the fact that in the mornings people came downtown with coffee for police and brooms to clean up the mess…they don’t talk about the peaceful protest that stayed on the sidewalk in response to said Broadway riots…and they didn’t talk about how people were boxed in at 2 am when bars close infront of 3 packed bars. for a movie yeah its a good watch but for a look at the Battle In Seattle they could have done better in getting their facts right
A jewel city gets a black eye.
Seattle, Washington is one of the most desirable places to live. But in November 1999, the city suffers a kick in the groin and a black eye. The unpopular World Trade Organization is having a Ministerial Meeting, an Seattle’s Mayor Jim Tobin(Ray Liotta)tries his best to make sure all events go smoothly in his city. In spite of a man to man agreement protesters agreeing to be civil: the peaceful activists intend to stop the WTO talks by barricading an intersection leading to the meetings. Tensions will rise and intentionally or accidentally that section of the city rapidly escalates into a full fledge riot with demonstrators and by standing citizens caught in the crossfire.The BATTLE IN SEATTLE is tense, engaging and worth your viewing. Director Stuart Townsend merges footage of the actual event with his fictionalized drama in proving that against all odds, ordinary informed citizens can change the world. An outstanding cast featuring: Woody Harrelson, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Andre Benjamin, Martin Henderson, Connie Nelsen and Rade Serbedzja.
