Workers' Memorial Day and 20th Anniversary of the Battle in Seattle: "This is What Democracy Looks Like" and "Awaken"

Workers' Memorial Day and 20th Anniversary of the Battle in Seattle "This is What Democracy Looks Like" is compiled footage shot by 100 amateur video-journalists who documented the story largely ignored by mainstream media of diverse activists—peaceniks, tree-huggers, and rank-and-file trade unionists—who descended on the site of the 1999 World Trade Organization summit to disrupt the proceedings of this unaccountable and anti-democratic trans-national corporate elite body. "Awaken" shows the San Francisco Bay Area Plumbers Union who sent a contingent of members to the 1999 WTO protest in Seattle. Both films are part of the 18th annual Reel Work Film Festival.
