Reminder - starts tomorrow!

* THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE
Thurs Nov 30, Fri Dec 1, Mon Dec 4, 7:30pm, Ottawa.

Premiere of the full-length film, narrated by Susan Sarandon & Michael
Franti, documenting the meaning & events of the Seattle protests.

Why did so many youth, labour leaders, human rights activists,
anti-capitalists, developing world activists, intellectuals, raging
grannies,
and other concerned individuals come together?

Through extensive on-the-ground footage, the film also aims to give
an accurate picture of exactly what happened on the streets.

it is a powerful embodiment of the spirit of the protests." - Naomi Klein.

Europe.

Each Ottawa screening will include a speaker who will introduce the film.
An open discussion will follow the screening, including time for comments
