The fledgling Asheville Independent Media Center will host a film screening of This is What Democracy Looks Like on Friday, June 1st at Eaties Cereal Bar (next to the Hookah Bar on Coxe). The event will be a benefit and a kickoff party. $5 sliding scale requested donation.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like weaves the footage of over 100 videographers into a gripping document of what really happened on Seattle's streets at the WTO protest in November of 1999. With more cameras on the street than any other media organization, the Independent Media Center (IMC) coordinated hundreds of media activists and collected more than 300 hours of video footage during the WTO protests. The film cuts through the confusion and tear gas to paint an intimate, passionate portrait of a week that changed the world.

Dance party to follow! Guaranteed intensity!
