We saw perhaps the most spectacular display of morality ever on the 15th of February, when millions of people across five continents marched against the war.

The largest protest in history |
|
On February 15, 2003 over 15 million people marched against the war in Iraq, in over 800 cities around the world "The global protest against the Iraq War on 15 February 2003 was a pivotal moment in recent history, the consequences of which have gone unreported. Amir Amirani's We Are Many chronicles the struggle to shift power from the old establishment to the new superpower that is global public opinion, through the prism of one historic day. I urge you to support this film in whatever way you can."
- Oliver Stone

“There will be millions of people who will never forget Saturday February 15 2003.”
“After the demonstrations of this weekend, there may still be two superpowers on the planet: the United States and world public opinion.”
“The demonstrations of February 15th was probably the largest one-day protest in history.”
