On February 15, 2003 the British Stop the War Coalition held a protest in London against the War in Iraq, which the BBC estimates was attended by a million people. It remains the largest protest in the UK's history. Globally, up to 30 million people in 800 cities are said to have protested that weekend in a co-ordinated effort against the war. This includes Antarctica where 70 scientists and colleagues demonstrated on the ice forming a peace sign. Nine years in the making and released last week in international cinemas, "We are Many", is a documentary that tells the story of the largest co-ordinated anti-war protest in global history that was tragically ignored by the world's political leaders.
Watch a teaser of the documentary We Are Many.
Watch the Guardian’s Seumas Milne chair a panel discussion featuring We Are Many's director Amir Amirani.
