<h3><strong>&quot;﻿Incredibly ambitious...gripping. The only film I&#x27;ve ever watched where the audience started applauding halfway through.&quot;</strong><em> Huffington Post</em><strong><em>                                   </em></strong><strong>&quot;A work of beautiful rage. Provokes anger and goosebumps.&quot; </strong><em>Empire       </em><strong>&quot;﻿Rousing and moving. It&#x27;s a film that should be seen by the many.&quot; </strong><em>Radio Times</em></h3><h3>O﻿n 15th February 2003, some 15-30 million people marched through the streets of nearly 800 cities around the world to protest against the impending invasion of Iraq. <em>The New York Times</em> called this movement &#x27;The second superpower&#x27;. </h3><h3>This inspiring documentary is the remarkable inside story of how a handful of activists created an unprecedented global movement, which left an unreported, unexpected and lasting impact on the social and political landscape. </h3><h3>In a series of captivating interviews with prominent figures, from pro-war politicians and the anti-war community, the lies told on the road to war, the historic protest and the subsequent war are compellingly recounted.</h3><h3>Filmed over eight years (in the UK, USA, Egypt, Australia, Italy, Spain and Sweden) and featuring rare and unseen footage, this star-studdied film charts the birth and rise of people power movements around the world, all through the prism of one extraordinary day. Filmmaker Amir Amirani was in Berlin that day, joining his first-ever protest. He later decided that he must discover, and tell the story, of how the global protest  movement came about and its subsequent impacts. <em>We Are Many</em> was Amir&#x27;s first feature film.      </h3><h3><strong>                                                                U﻿K | 2015 | 104 mins</strong></h3>
