In the late twentieth century, protesters worldwide increasingly challenged and resisted economic globalization. One of the most well-known examples of this resistance was the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization protests, which occurred when the WTO attempted to hold its ministerial conference in downtown Seattle. There is even a fictional movie (Battle in Seattle) made about the protests.
