What Would It Mean To Win? was filmed on the blockades at the G8 summit i
n Heiligendamm, Germany, in June 2007. Focusing on the current state of the
counter-globalization movement, it combines documentary footage, interviews, and
animation sequences, and is structured around three questions pertinent to the
movement: Who are we? What is our power? What would it mean to win?

Almost 10 years after Seattle became the birthplace for the "movement of
movements," the protests in Heiligendamm seemed to reassert the confidence,
inventiveness and creativity of the counter-globalization movement. This film
aims to move beyond the question of whether we are "winning" or not by
addressing what would it actually mean to win.
