The Day After Peace

BBC / Passion Pictures presents a Peace One Day production
A Jeremy Gilley Film featuring Jude Law

Against all odds an individual creates an annual global ceasefire/non-violence day.  Will he silence the cynics and prove that the day can actually save lives?

This feature documentary charts the remarkable world journey taken by filmmaker Jeremy Gilley, to create a Day of Peace on September 21. He galvanizes the countries of the world to recognize this as an official day of ceasefire and non-violence. Jeremy's true quest though is to use the day to save lives. Celebrity as well as corporate support from Coca-Cola enhances the momentum.  Jeremy's persistence is rewarded when UNICEF, the World Health Organisation and local affected communities decide to try and use the Day 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.

Jude Law attended the screening at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19th of The Day After Peace, presented by Jeremy Gilley.
