The video is recorded at a protest campaign at Pettha railwaystation in Colombo,
Sri Lanka parallel to the WTO meeting in Hong-Kong, December 2005. It is a
protest against the political changes WTO want to make in Sri Lanka and other
countries.
This video is part of The Kotmale/FTZ project that consists of a series of
videos, a billboard, texts and images that investigates the political context
and impact of Free Trade Zones and the Kotmale project that were initiated
in the late seventies in Sri Lanka, as well as the resistance and alternatives
to the policy WTO suggests for the country today.
