Translation of comment below:

Its sad because in a war no one wins and all lose, and Im afraid for the world if we dont stop. With songs and actions, the world will be a better place.

Es triste pues en una gerra nadie gana y todos pierden, y me temo que el mundo si no lo paramos con las canciones y las acciones, este pasara a mejor vida

Photojournalism, so often rrestricted to newspaper coverage, is regulated by the daily news cycle. We seldom are able to truly appreciate what the eye of the documentarian brings to an event. In this video, the filmmakers have captured the heart of dissent spanning years of protest in its five minute coverage. In addition, the editing incorporates constant movement that both provides focus and helps us to negotiate the complex images captured here. Well done.

This well-done documentary of a cross section of passionate, committed-to-peace-and honor Americans is a stirring record of our continuous struggle to instill sanity in the world, including our world here in America. Thanks to the filmmakers and to all who attended the September 15th rally. A Jan 31st rally in DC will protest this regime's fascist policies, especially that of torture which, like violence in general, has become a norm in our disgraced culture.

Major props to the ANSWER Coalition for organizing such an inspiring event -- right when such an event was needed.
