Battle in Seattle

I found this on another blog and under it said 'when the hell was this filmed?' Now I am wondering the same thing? It was obviously filmed in Seattle. Was it filmed during the actual WTO riots? cause if so, maybe I am in it! I was running around downtown when that was going on (and yes, I was all of about 15 years old). Either way, it doesn't look like a movie I would enjoy. However, I do love watching movies filmed in Seattle, it makes me feal famous. I don't really know why though?
