On February 15th, 2003, up to 30 million people, many of whom had never demonstrated before, came out in nearly 800 cities around the world to protest against the impending Iraq War. WE ARE MANY is the never-before-told story of the largest demonstration in human history, and how the movement created by a small band of activists changed the world. United for Peace and Justice played a leading role in organizing the demonstrations in New York and other cities in the U.S. The film features interviews with participants from all walks of life and areas of expertise including Noam Chomsky, Leslie Cagan and Phyllis Bennis, UFPJ Co-founders, veteran and author Ron Kovic (Born on the Fourth of July), Code Pink Co-founder Medea Benjamin, activist and author Bill Fletcher Jr. (They’re Bankrupting Us!), Academy Award winner Mark Rylance, world-renowned author John le Carré, former UN Weapons Inspector Dr. Hans Blix, Stop the War Coalition Founding Member Lindsey German, and Jesse Jackson, as well as Danny Glover, Ken Loach and Brian Eno.
