Directed by filmmaker and founder of Peace One Day, Jeremy Gilley, the film charts his remarkable 10-year journey to establish an annual Peace Day on 21 September. Featuring Kofi Annan, HH the Dalai Lama, Angelina Jolie, Annie Lennox and Jonny Lee Miller, the film’s breathtaking conclusion then finds Gilley joined by Jude Law in Afghanistan, attempting to spearhead a massive vaccination against Polio on Peace Day. The DVD works in conjunction with The Peace One Day Citizenship Resource, a fully interactive educational experience, containing practical lesson plans and homework tasks linked to the National Curriculum.

Peace One Day Founder Jeremy Gilley said:  “Our goal is to provide resource materials to every school in the world, inspiring a generation to become the driving force behind the vision of a united and sustainable world. I am very excited about the potential of this education resource to make a real difference and we are grateful to companies like DHL for their support. Peace Day is working. Lives are being saved and individuals are making commitments.”

DHL’s Supply Chain, Express and Williams Lea business units collaborated on this project, managing the logistics of the education pack including printing, packing, sorting and distribution of the material free of charge.

Ken McCall, DHL Express CEO UK & Ireland, said:  “DHL was delighted to help Peace One Day in their mission to give our nation’s young people access to The Day After Peace film and accompanying education resources this year. Our strong network enabled this important learning opportunity to reach over 6400 schools throughout the country within 2-3 days.”
