"We Are Many" Picks Up Three PUMA Creative Awards at The Good Pitch

We are delighted to share the good news that our feature documentary We Are Many presented at The Good Pitch in London on 10thSeptember 2010 had an overwhelming response and picked up three PUMA Creative Awards. PUMA, through its  PUMA.Creative initiative, launched a unique long-term partnership with Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation on September 10. The new PUMA.Creative Documentary Awards will provide financial support, creative counsel and industry recognition to documentary filmmakers whose work address creative, social justice, peace or environmental issues globally.

Directed by Amir Amirani, We Are Many will tell the story of the biggest peace march in human history. On 15 February 2003, in over 800 cities around the world, 30 million people protested against the planned invasion of Iraq. In telling this remarkable story, the film will harness the passion and political energy of this phenomenal movement as a force for good in giving people a voice.
