A Man Called Brian
A man called Brian is a documentary film by Mahmoud Shoolizadeh.[1] This documentary is about a 55 year-old Briton called Brian Haw[2] who has left his home, his wife and seven children in the south of England and has come to London to stage a 24-hour sit-in opposite the Houses of Parliament for over seven years in protest against the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by the US and British military forces. In this film, he argues that because the war ends in deaths of thousands of people, it should stop.
