<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A thing born once in Seattle amidst tear gas and protest… </strong>Many things grew out of those days in
Seattle, one of them has grown from strength to strength and is perhaps
the best metaphor like tool we can use to understand the new ways of
doing things: Networking, building up and using efficient, open and
honest tools of communication: <a href="http://www.indymedia.org/en/static/about.shtml">Indymedia</a>. The bi lingual film “<a href="http://ithefilm.com/reviews">i</a>“ or ”<a href="http://ithefilm.com/">Eye of the storm</a>”, made by IMC-Argentina, is a beautiful film which shows the birth and growth and magic of <em>“a global network” </em>.
It focuses on the rise of Indymedia and how participative media grew
during the economic and social crisis in Argentina.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em>This film, shot by 100 amateur camera
operators, tells the story of the enormous street protests in Seattle,
Washington in November 1999, against the World Trade Organization summit
being held there. Vowing to oppose, among other faults, the WTO’s power
to arbitrally overrule nations’ environmental, social and labour
policies in favour of unbridled corporate greed, protestors from all
around came out in force to make their views known and stop the summit.
Against them is a brutal police force and a hostile media as well as the
stain of a minority of destructively overzealous comrades. Against all
odds, the protesters bravely faced fierce opposition to take back the
rightful democratic power that the political and corporate elite of the
world is determined to deny the little people.</em></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><em><br></em></div>
