Jeremy's Films
The Day After Peace is the latest award-winning documentary film from Peace One Day founder and chairman Jeremy Gilley. Produced in association with the BBC and Passion Pictures, the film has been licensed for broadcast in 96 countries and has received screenings at film festivals and special public screenings in 74 countries.
Jeremy’s third film, currently in production, is scheduled for seven transmissions over the weekend of 18/19 September 2010 to 200 countries on BBC World. Produced by Jeremy and Jude Law, this third film charts the extraordinary progress of Peace Day since 2007 and sets the course for Jeremy’s fourth film, culminating on Peace Day 2012 against the back-drop of the London Olympic Games.
Jeremy Gilley was an actor before he founded Peace One Day in 1999. He had become disillusioned with his work, but understood the potential of film to positively affect people and create change in the world. So when he set out on his near impossible mission in 1999, he took a camera with him. Every journey made, every country visited and every person met – he got it all on camera. Ten years on, The Day After Peace is his story – the story of Peace One Day.
About The Day After Peace
The Day After Peace charts the remarkable 10-year journey of award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to establish an annual Peace Day on 21 September. The camera follows Jeremy as he galvanises the countries of the world to recognise an official day of ceasefire and non-violence.
But even after the member states of the UN unanimously adopt Peace Day, the struggle isn’t over. As the years pass, there’s not a single ceasefire. The voices of the cynics are growing louder – and now Gilley’s non-profit organisation, Peace One Day, is in dire financial straits. But he can’t let it fail.
The film’s breathtaking conclusion finds Gilley joined by Jude Law in Afghanistan attempting to spearhead a massive vaccination against polio on Peace Day. Will peace prevail? Will lives be saved? Or were the cynics right?
The Day After Peace is a moving testament to the power of the individual and the perseverance of the human spirit.
