As a Seattle native, I love my city, appreciate it for its diversity and know how lucky I am to be from such an unparalleled place. So I was pleasantly surprised to find my city in the spotlight recently. Seattle was featured in Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut, “Battle in Seattle.” Documenting the World Trade Organization protests on Nov. 30, 1999, the film is an intense narrative that combines many different vantage points to form a debatably cohesive, yet undeniably controversial, film about capitalistic greed, constitutional rights and how one city was changed forever.
