[chanting] Tell me what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy looks like!
Tonight on the 5th Estate:
They were the most unlikely troublemakers
Well I was not an activist
Ihad never attended a political rally in my life.
There were thousands of them
ordinary canadians on the streets at toronto's G20
protesting peacefully until the police shut them down.
They were dragging me over the concrete
and I'm screaming trying to get their attention.
Now, the stories you haven't heard
They strip searched me about 20 hours after they arrested me.
The pictures you haven't seen
The summit from the street
and the people who never dreamed this would happen to them
I think we did our best
I think
Is that good enough?
That frankly will be for the judge...
Good evening and . I'm _____
It has been 8 months since the G20 and the iconic images are still with us
burning police cars, rampaging mobs
the massive security presence that according to the official story
is all that stood between canada's largest city and chaos.
But that was never the whole story about what happened that weekend in June,
and 8 months later shocking new images continue to emerge
captured on cell phones and mini cams
by participants who found themselves on the other side of all that G20 order.
For some of you the stories you'll hear tonight will raise questions
about what protest means in this country
what the limits to dissent have become;
but others will have the same reaction so many have had
since those days in june
It's what we call our program tonight:
You Should Have Stayed At Home.
