We Are Many tells for the first time the remarkable story of the biggest protest in history, and how it changed the world. Executive Produced by Pippa Harris (Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Things We Lost In The Fire ), BAFTA winning & Oscar-nominated producer Signe Sorenson (The Act of Killing), and Omid Djalili (The Infidel, Gladiator, The Mummy) , WE ARE MANY is the debut feature film of acclaimed documentary maker Amir Amirani.

All These Summers
Director: Therese Henningsen
Year: 2025
Driven by a recurring urge to encounter strangers with her camera, the filmmaker begins to film her solitary Greek Cypriot neighbour Pete in the tower block in London where they both live. Around the same time, her father in Denmark receives a cancer diagnosis requiring her to spend more time with him. As her father gradually slips back into the depression that made him absent when she was a teenager, she feels a need to document this transition. Her compulsion to enter into Pete’s life and to film him echoes with her desire for understanding her father’s experience of isolation and loneliness, as well as her own relationship to it. ALL THESE SUMMERS asks questions about responsibility in life and in film whilst intimately confronting the complexities of the daughter-father and filmmaker-subject relationship.
