Documentary, 46 minutes, (2001)

Tracy Westmoreland is a New York bar owner. But his bar "Siberia" is not just any New York bar, nor is Tracy Westmoreland like any other bar owner on this planet.

With two friends and a toilet Mr. Westmoreland flew to Japan to save his bar from being shut down. He asked a Franciscan priest to bless his underground drinking establishment against forces of evil and corporate greed. He chained himself and his three young children to the bar entrance to protest eviction.

"You come in, he gives you a bear-hug, you feel right at home"

Siberia against-
corporate conglomerates
heartless real estate companies
faceless international corporations

"What they are doing is wrong"
( - Tracy Westmoreland)
