00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:11.850
[opening music...]

00:00:12.404 --> 00:00:15.093
[chanting] Tell me what democracy looks like!

00:00:15.093 --> 00:00:17.513
This is what democracy looks like!

00:00:17.682 --> 00:00:19.183
Tonight on the 5th Estate:

00:00:19.291 --> 00:00:22.198
They were the most unlikely troublemakers

00:00:22.198 --> 00:00:24.381
Well I was not an activist

00:00:24.381 --> 00:00:27.081
Ihad never attended a political rally in my life.

00:00:30.866 --> 00:00:32.473
There were thousands of them

00:00:32.473 --> 00:00:36.235
ordinary canadians on the streets at toronto's G20

00:00:36.235 --> 00:00:40.895
protesting peacefully until the police shut them down.

00:00:42.511 --> 00:00:44.582
They were dragging me over the concrete

00:00:44.582 --> 00:00:47.449
and I'm screaming trying to get their attention.

00:00:47.711 --> 00:00:50.824
Now, the stories you haven't heard

00:00:51.224 --> 00:00:55.266
They strip searched me about 20 hours after they arrested me.

00:00:55.481 --> 00:00:58.586
The pictures you haven't seen

00:01:02.909 --> 00:01:06.220
The summit from the street

00:01:07.912 --> 00:01:13.486
and the people who never dreamed this would happen to them

00:01:17.347 --> 00:01:19.212
I think we did our best

00:01:19.212 --> 00:01:20.062
I think

00:01:20.062 --> 00:01:20.945
Is that good enough?

00:01:20.945 --> 00:01:23.554
That frankly will be for the judge...

00:01:24.985 --> 00:01:27.338
Good evening and . I'm _____

00:01:27.338 --> 00:01:31.960
It has been 8 months since the G20 and the iconic images are still with us

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:34.570
burning police cars, rampaging mobs

00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:38.499
the massive security presence that according to the official story

00:01:38.499 --> 00:01:42.720
is all that stood between canada's largest city and chaos.

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:47.065
But that was never the whole story about what happened that weekend in June,

00:01:47.065 --> 00:01:51.781
and 8 months later shocking new images continue to emerge

00:01:51.781 --> 00:01:53.957
captured on cell phones and mini cams

00:01:53.957 --> 00:01:59.183
by participants who found themselves on the other side of all that G20 order.

00:01:59.629 --> 00:02:02.614
For some of you the stories you'll hear tonight will raise questions

00:02:02.614 --> 00:02:04.864
about what protest means in this country

00:02:04.987 --> 00:02:07.667
what the limits to dissent have become;

00:02:07.667 --> 00:02:10.870
but others will have the same reaction so many have had

00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:13.050
since those days in june

00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:14.890
It's what we call our program tonight:

00:02:15.013 --> 00:02:18.623
You Should Have Stayed At Home.
