I suggest you go through the website and its links like 'whocontrolsthe world.com' to see this film's potential in this particular political conjuncture. Personally, I like the paternalistic Northern quote of Jefferson on the latter: “Every generation needs its own revolution.” ;-)


Yes, I would agree. My disagreement was that Seattle was not a revolution. I would submit that the mundane machinations of the reluctant Indian government in Geneva last week possibly did more for Indian farmers than well-intentioned Western youth protesting in Seattle... and I do believe that well-intentioned protest is a wonderful and productive activity, so no condescension is implied (who am I to condescend, anyway!).
