Jude Law promotes peace
Jude Law is visiting Afghanistan to promote peace in the war-ravaged country with director Jeremy Gilley. The United Nations General Assembly adopted Peace Day in 2001, following a lobbying campaign by Gilley which he documented in the film “Peace One Day.” Law said to the press on Monday : “When I left Kabul last year, I was hugely moved not by the conflict that I have read so much about, but by the people’s courage and the people’s sense of hope,”
“It seemed that they really want to make this day, the Peace Day, work. And they did,” told Law. “People recognize the day, because they recognize that lives could be saved.” Gilley added that the documentary, which also features former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, the Dalai Lama, Angelina Jolie, Annie Lennox and Jonny Lee Miller, charts the way Peace Day can be used as a focus for lifesaving activity. “The world celebrates so many days that often separate and segregate us … and yet there is none that ties us all together,” complained Low. He also underline : “It is Peace Day’s commitment to take this film as a message from people of Afghanistan to the rest of the world,”
