We Are the Giant

Streaming video - 2014

This critically acclaimed documentary transports viewers to the front lines of the Arab Spring through the courageous stories of six extraordinary people grappling with the dilemma at the heart of all struggles for justice and freedom: whether to take up arms and fight, or to advocate change through peace and non-violence. Powerful, tragic and ultimately inspirational, WE ARE THE GIANT follows the everyday decisions that transform not just individual lives but the fates of nations. As their stories echo across history, the characters in WE ARE THE GIANT speak directly to our own lives, reminding us that we are all products of revolutions, and offering hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
