Narrated by Martin Sheen, this film movingly portrays eight diverse Americans’ opposition to the Iraq war and occupation. The eight are: a career diplomat who resigned his post; a mother of a New York firefighter who died in the 9/11 collapse; a soldier who refused to fight in Iraq and went to prison; Representative Jim Morgan whose Virginia district includes the Pentagon; a pastor; a Gold Star mother; and a co-founder of Code Pink. The film convincingly shows that everyday people can – and must- make a difference.

Directed by Steve Connors and Molly Bingham, this film asks the question, “What would you do if the U.S. were invaded?” and answers, “Resist, just like the Iraqis are doing.” Insurgents, militants, anti-Americans, terrorists, extremists, al-Qaeda – the Pentagon/media spin labels them anything BUT Iraqis which, overwhelmingly, is what the people fighting the U.S. occupation of their country are. This important, powerful film removes the spin to reveal everyday Iraqis talking about why they fight their country’s invaders.
