It was December 1999, in the waning days of the 20th century, when tens of thousands of Americans from all walks of life descended on downtown Seattle to protest the five-year-old World Trade Organization holding its first summit on U.S. soil. If that sounds a bit like the talking points of a MAGA talk show or even President Trump itself...it is. I was a freshman in high school in 1999, but I still remember how the story was covered in the national media. When Newsweek asked me to interview the filmmakers behind a new independent documentary about the Seattle WTO meeting, I was non-committal at first. What did a well-covered demonstration against globalization from the 1990s have to do with the world we live in today?
