"Against the odds, this is an inspiring testament." -- Eye for Film
Proof that an individual can make a difference, this is the story of Jeremy Gilley’s attempts to create a global day of peace. Over five years, Jeremy 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. The UN International Day of Peace is now fixed in the calendar on 21st September every year.

Wikipedia
The project Peace One Day is the vision of English filmmaker Jeremy Gilley. He conceived the idea of declaring one day a year free of conflict and war; one day of a global truce regardless of all kinds on world conflict and volatile situations. By networking with students and peace activists from a grassroots political level, he persevered from 1999 until, working upward, spoke to Presidents, dignitaries, and leaders around the world. The final result was that on September 7, 2001, two countries and the United Nations passed a resolution to make September 21 the day of peace.
