Battle in Seattle: movie, or boxing event title?

I figure it's been a while since I reviewed any upcoming movies (or at least their trailers), so here we go.

If there's one thing I love, it's politically charged movies. If there's one thing I love even more, it's a politically charged riot movie. Sadly, I haven't seen much of the latter lately, or really... ever.

Battle in Seatle is going to change that. It's actor Stuart Townsend's first directing job, and surprise surprise, it's got his "wife" Charlize Theron in a leading role. It's depicting the events of the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle which started peacefully,but descended into rioting and an eventual State of Emergency. From what I've read Townsend depicts all sides of the "argument", showing the portesters, police, and the anarchists who eventually turned it all to shit.

Really, I've got to commend the trailer; it looks like a kick-ass movie. I either don't remember the events that it depicts, or I was just never informed: does this present a vulnerability in tthe audience the film wants to reach? Obviously this film is targetted to Americans who might remember what happened, but what about people who don't? Are they going to allow themselves to be potentially influenced in their opinion of the protesters and the police by a film?

I guess the trick is to go into this with an open mind and possibly with some research; but really, that wouldn't be fun, would it? I guess it would ruin the movie, too, but... meh.
