It was the biggest protest in the history of mankind: 15 February 2003, an estimated 30 million people in over 700 cities around the world.

Filmmaker Amir Amirani wants to make a documentary titled ‘We Are Many‘ about this landmark day of protest, though crowd-sourcing.

The blurb says:

We Are Many is a documentary about one of the landmark moments of people power – the protest against the Iraq war, which has gone down in the record books as the largest protest in history.
…
The question of whether the protest could have stopped the war continues, and the film will reflect that. We now know that in fact the war was planned at least a year in advance. Some argue that more could have been done to harness the power of the millions who marched, and the millions for whom 15 February 2003 was their first-ever protest. What has gone unnoticed is that the day marked not only the birth of a new kind of global movement, but set in motion changes that are being felt to this day.

He adds:

The story of this march is remarkable – for its scale and significance, the inside story of the organization behind it, the unfolding events of the day itself, and its extraordinary legacy. This story that has never been told on film – until now. You can make this happen.
