Protests. Riot police. Tear gas. Flaming dumpsters. In 1999, tens of thousands of American citizens claimed the streets of Seattle in a five-day protest that shut down the World Trade Organization. In 30 Frames A Second, Emmy award winning filmmaker Rustin Thompson chronicles his own political awakening in a first-person film the Village Voice called “a standout documentary,” the Chicago Reader said was “a must-see,” and the Chicago Sun-Times called “polished and provocative.” Up-close, immediate, raw, and incisive, this film shows what resistance can look like in the disruptive times we now live.
