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.
