We Are Many: The Story of the Largest Global Protest That Would Change the World Forever (Pt. 2)

The documentary "We Are Many" focuses on the February 15, 2003, global protests against the Iraq War. The film tells the story of that historic day and how its events have helped shape political movements around the world ever since. In this web exclusive, we continue our discussion with the film's producer and director, Amir Amirani. "In Egypt, antiwar activists, who were part of the global antiwar movement, held a small protest … but they could see what was happening in the rest of the world," says Amirani. "On the first day of the war, they came out in huge numbers and occupied Tahrir Square for a night. They all point to that moment as the birth of the modern democracy movement in Egypt."
