A timely reminder of the mass Stop the War protest movement of the 00s, with the added shadow of the UK's current silencing of anti-genocidal dissent. We Are Many relives the outrage following the invasion of Iraq, and the optimism of the millions who took to the streets against it. Filmed over nine years across seven countries, We Are Many tells the inside story of the largest global protest in human history on February 15, 2003, exploring how a small patchwork of peace activists sparked an unprecedented international movement and examining the rising power of global public opinion.

Make no mistake, capitalism runs our life. It’s not just how much we work, and therefore how we spend our time, but what we watch, and therefore how we think and feel. From AI disinformation to reportage on the genocide in Gaza, Goldsmiths Professor Des Freedman walks us through a thoroughly socialist struggle against the demons of the digital media age. Join Des Freedman for a deep and relevant critique of our capitalist media machine at Kitform on 12th August 6.30pm. Des is an academic, trade unionist and founding member of The Media Reform Coalition, whose writing has featured in Declassified UK. We will explore his book ‘Capitalism And The Media’ and its themes of how the deeply entrenched ideology of commodification, colonialism and warfare normalizes the obscene, distorting our basic understanding of the world from algorithms to oligarchy.
