Battle In Seattle. 2007.
Activist arrive in Seattle for a peace demonstration against a meeting that is to take place that deals with the World Oganisation Trade while other protesters start riots.
I don't usually watch films about demonstrations as the outcome can lead to mass riots and can be upsetting but this was actually enjoyable and seen through differen eyes. Woody Harrleson plays a police officer who is involved in keeping the pace on the street and looking forward to be a new dad until his wife is caught up unintentionally with the riots. Ray Liotta plays Seattle's Mayor who wants everything to go well with the talks and demonstrations. Martin Henderson, Andrew 3000, Michelle Rodriguez and Jennifer Carpenter lead a group of people for a peaceful demonstration and Connie Nielsen play a the tv reporter in the frontline. This can have one or two upsetting or distressing moments but nothing is over done, the acting is decent with no one trying to outshine anyone. Certainly worth a watch.
