Her Anti-WTO

About This Movie

Her Anti-WTO dives into the raw and often chaotic energy of the 2005 World Trade Conference protests in Hong Kong. The film captures this tumultuous period when demonstrators faced heavy-handed police tactics, including tear gas and beanbag rounds—quite a shift from the city's past. The atmosphere feels charged, with a real sense of urgency as the camera follows activists amid the chaos. There's a gritty realism to the footage that pulls you into the fray. It’s less about polished narratives and more about the visceral experience of protest. Themes of globalization and dissent are explored without heavy-handed commentary, allowing the images and sounds to speak for themselves, which is something I appreciate in docs like this.
