"WTO/99" Filmmaker on Anti-Corporate Globalization Movement: "These Issues Haven't Gone Away"
WTO/99 is a new “immersive archival documentary” about the 1999 protests in Seattle against the World Trade Organization that uses 1,000+ hours of footage from the Independent Media Center and other archives.

We also speak with Ralph Nader, who is featured in the movie.
Ralph Nader on Trump's "Entrenching Dictatorship," Reclaiming Congress, and the Fight Against Big Money
As a “Fight Club” of eight senators led by Bernie Sanders challenges Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s handling of President Trump, we speak with Ralph Nader, who has been taking on the Democratic Party for decades. Sixty years ago this week, he published his landmark book, Unsafe at Any Speed, exposing the safety flaws of GM’s Chevrolet Corvair and leading to major reforms in auto safety laws. Nader discusses the legacy of his book, the current state of government regulation and why Congress must reclaim its authority from an out-of-control Trump administration. “Clearly, we’re seeing a rapidly entrenching dictatorship,” Nader tells Democracy Now! “The focus has to be on impeachment, and there will be a large majority of people in favor of it.”
