We Are Many

‘We Are Many’ tells the behind the scenes story of the largest global protest in human history. (Is that true? Probably at the time, don’t know about now).

On February 15th 2003, 30 million people protested against the USA and UK’s plans to invade Iraq. Demonstrations spread across 789 cities, in 72 countries, covering every continent.

Ultimately the protests didn’t stop the war. IMHO one off big moments like this rarely have the impact needed, if people had turned up week after week there might have been a different outcome.

But, the story is an inspiring one for all who seek to channel people power to achieve their goals.
