We Are Many (2014)

We Are Many: Directed by Amir Amirani. With Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Mark Rylance, Ken Loach. The story of the biggest demonstration in human history, which took place on 15th February 2003, against the impending war on Iraq.

“Stating the obvious is not always such an extraordinary act. But in the current world we live in, in sham u0026quot;democraciesu0026quot; where truth tellers like Assange are jailed and tortured for revealing war crimes whilst the lying war criminals who committed them walk free without consequence, such a film that states the obvious truth is an extraordinary and revolutionary act. Bravo to Amir and his team for authentically capturing a historic period when the emergence (and re-emergence in some quarters) of people power and principally the anti-war movement took shape, and yet despite the criminal tragedy of the illegal and immoral war that followed despite overwhelming opposition, this movement has laid a seed of peace that continues to grow, even despite the efforts of the evil elites to subdue or control it. As a historical documentary alone, this film brilliantly captures the time and itu0026#39;s diverse voices, and technically it is brilliantly directed, produced, edited, and scored. Some of the giant voices of reason in this documentary have sadly passed away since itu0026#39;s creation (RIP Tony Benn), but the beauty of such a profound document is that their voices and contribution, like those millions of people who turned up to say no to war against Iraq (including me), is that it is enshrined into a record for generations to learn of and be inspired by to action against tyrannous regimes like the one of Tony war criminal Blair. We are many and counting! Ten out of Ten.”
