A Man Called Brian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A man called Brian is a documentary film by Mahmoud Shoolizadeh.[1] This documentary is about a 55 year-old Briton called Brian Haw who has staged a 24-hour sit-in opposite the Houses of Parliament in London for over five years in protest against the invasion of US and British military forces to Iraq and Afghanistan. In this film, he argues that because the war ends in deaths of thousands of people, it should stop.
