Peace One Day
I saw this really interesting documentary tonight about Peace One Day and its founder Jeremy Gilley. The documentary was made by Jeremy himself and featured Jude Law,Angelia Jolie, Johnny Lee Miller and Annie Lennox.
Peace One Day began in 1999 with Jeremy's idea of having peace for one day in September without any one getting killed. This idea took 8 years to develop and Jeremy went to various places around the world to promote his idea. His hard work paid off as last year on September 21st over 100 million people joined him for peace for one day. In Afghanistan the Taliban allowed the United Nations to have vaccinations against polio for children without the fear of getting kidnapped or killed.
