DVD REVIEW

One voice does make a difference

Peace One Day
Written and directed by Jeremy Gilley 
2002 $19.98 US (£10.89)

From the September 2006 issue of The Christian Science Journal


WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT A SINGLE DAY?

And what's important about September 21? Here's a hint: It's globally recognized, it symbolizes a growing desire for peace, and people believe it's worth having. In 2001 the United Nations (UN) backed an initiative to establish a global cease-fire day, also known as the International Day of Peace.

To simply summarize the film Peace One Day, you could describe it as a documentary that shows how one man, Jeremy Gilley, struggled to bring about this International Day of Peace. I would also call it a beautiful, empowering, and awe-inspiring cinematic effort. The film made me want to cheer, cry, and even dance out of joy and wonder. It made me deeply question what I can do to be more supportive of peace in my thinking, my country, my community, my home, and abroad.
