In June 2010, leaders from the twenty largest economies met in Toronto
with representatives of corporate interests to discuss the policies that
would shape the world for everyone else. Exclusion zones, overlapping
layers of security fencing and an estimated 25,000 police and military
personnel transformed the downtown area into an armed camp. Over 1.3
billion dollars were spent on security measures, more than all previous
G8/G20 meetings combined. This documentary traces the overt breakdown in
civil liberties that occurred during the Summit, from unmarked vans
with snatch squads of plainclothes police to the pre-emptive arrest of
activists now facing years in prison for organizing demonstrations.
