The Day After Peace

Have you ever thought of a day where peace is rejoiced universally? A day where violence and hatred does not exist? This was one man's goal and his documentary, The Day After Peace, captures his struggles and triumphs in trying to establish a day of Peace.

Here is the summary of the film:
The Day After Peace charts the remarkable 10-year journey taken by filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to establish a day of Peace on September 21st. During the course of his mission the camera follows Gilley as he galvanizes the countries of the world to recognize this as an official day of ceasefire and non-violence. After the official motion is unanimously adopted in the UN, Gilley turns his efforts to implementing the ideals of Peace Day around the world. Celebrity support from the lies of Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee miller enhances the momentum. Jeremy's persistence is rewarded when UNICEF, the World Health Organization and local affected communities decide to try and use the Dy to carry out a mass vaccination against Polio, in one of the toughest conflict areas in the world, Afghanistan. Jeremy asks Jude Law to accompany him to Afghanistan, to help persuade the government and insurgents to ratify Peace Day. The task seems impossible, but pure human spirit in a country exhausted with conflict, may just win through.
