A one hour special in our series on Global Capital and the World Trade Organization, the Road to Seattle WTO Special #2 looks at highlights from the Vancouver organizing that brought more than 40 busloads of Canadians to the giant November 30 rally and march against the WTO in Seattle.

It includes video from the November 30 1999 Seattle march and rally which drew 50,000 protestors, including interviews with some of the more than 3000 Canadians who made the trip. Also includes video of some of the police violence against protestors in Seattle streets on that same day.
