PEACE ONE DAY is the story of one man’s attempts to persuade the global community via the United Nations to officially sanction a global ceasefire day, a day of non-violence, a day of Peace.
This documentary charts the remarkable journey of the filmmaker (from 1999 – 2003) as he meets heads of state, Nobel Peace Laureates, aid agencies, freedom fighters, media moguls, the innocent victims of war and, eventually, everyone who was anyone at the UN.
An individual genuinely can make a difference: The UN International Day of Peace is now fixed in the calendar on 21st September annually. The real challenge has now begun - to get the world to unite on a day fast approaching. (Running time 80 minutes)
THE DAY AFTER PEACE charts Gilley’s journey up until 2007. The camera follows the filmmaker as he galvanises the countries of the world to recognise an official day of ceasefire and non-violence.
But even after the member states of the UN unanimously adopt Peace Day, the struggle isn’t over. As the years pass, there’s not a single ceasefire. The voices of the cynics are growing louder – and now Gilley’s non-profit organisation, Peace One Day, is in dire financial straits. But he can’t let it fail.
The film’s breathtaking conclusion finds Gilley joined by Jude Law in Afghanistan, attempting to spearhead a massive vaccination against polio on Peace Day. Will peace prevail? Will lives be saved? Or were the cynics right? (Running time 81 minutes)
PEACE ONE DAY PART THREE - in 1999, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley had a simple but powerful idea - could the world be persuaded to lay down its weapons for a day? Two years later, he persuaded the member states of the United Nations to declare an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September. It’s been marked every year since. In Afghanistan, Gilley and Jude Law led a
campaign that has seen 4.5 million children vaccinated against polio because of Peace Day agreements; but the aim of a global ceasefire on the day still proves elusive. In his third film charting his ten-year campaign (up until 2010), Jeremy Gilley continues to record his extraordinary efforts to achieve the seemingly impossible. (Running time 45 minutes)
Gilley’s epic trilogy is a moving testament to the power of the individual and the perseverance of the human spirit.
