Peace is patriotic in this proudly opinionated, rock music-filled short covering the many, many 2003 anti-war protests in the streets of Philadelphia. Muslims, non Muslims, teens who can't wait to vote, war veterans for peace, and regular joes and janes rally to protest not just the Iraq war, but the sudden business-as-usual demonizing, detaining, deportation and abuse of Arabs, Muslims, and anyone suddenly deemed suspicious for the most superficial of reasons by police and government.

Baiyina Hughley received her BA from Temple University in Philadelphia in 2001. Currently, she lives in California and is a full-time Interior Design student at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, where she specializes in Set Design, combining some of her filmmaking experience with her love for interiors.
