Inside the movement, not watching from a distance.
From 2003 to 2007, Patty Mooney filmed San Diego’s marches, vigils and rallies against the war in Iraq. The result captures a community responding in real time: its grief, its resolve and its solidarity.
There’s no narrator standing apart from the crowd. The film puts you in the street with the people who showed up, where emotion and conviction drove what happened next.
Woven from three things
Footage from the street
Marches, candlelight vigils and rallies, filmed on the ground as they happened.
Voices of the people there
Interviews with participants about why they came and what was at stake for them.
Original songs
Music written for the film carries it from scene to scene, through moments of grief, resolve and unity.
From the streets
Who marched
A broad cross-section of San Diego. Their stories show the personal stakes behind public protest, and how much grassroots organizing shaped what the city said out loud.
- Students
- Longtime peace activists
- Military veterans
- Families who lost loved ones in the war
A local record of a moment with national weight.
The film preserves the years when opposition to the war took shape in streets, parks and civic spaces, when ordinary people came together to be heard. It shows activism as something lived, not as an abstract principle, and keeps the voices, faces and sounds of that movement on record.
Marching since 1990
Peace Out San Diego wasn’t Patty Mooney’s first march. She has walked for peace since 1990, so when San Diego took to the streets again in 2003, she was there with a camera.
