  • This event has passed.

Arrive early to see Teamsters, Turtles, and Beyond: The Legacy of the WTO Seattle Protests, which will be open before the screening, from 6-7pm.

Join co-producer Jill Freidberg for a screening of This is What Democracy Looks Like (2000). Co-produced by Jill Freidberg and Big Noise Films’ founder Rick Rowley, the documentary weaves the footage of over 100 videographers into a gripping document of what really happened on Seattle’s streets. It cuts through the confusion and tear gas to paint an intimate, passionate portrait of a week that changed the world.

ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.
