Charlize Theron is Mile High

Charlize Theron walks side by side with Stuart Townsend to the premiere of Battle in Seattle at the Impact Film Festival in Denver, Colorado, the Mile High City.

“I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this film,” Charlize said. “It is the kind of film that, when you walk out, really makes you want to go out and be proactive.”

Battle in Seattle centers around five fictional characters whose lives intersected with the 1999 Seattle protests against the World Trade Organization. Although it began as a peaceful protest with a goal of stopping the WTO talks, it escalated into a full-scale riot and eventually, a State of Emergency that put protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.

Battle in Seattle stars Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, and Michelle Rodriguez, and will have a limited release on September 19th.
