The Day After Peace is a moving film that tracks the 10-year quest of filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to create a day of peace. The results of this incredible effort have included the adoption of Peace Day by the U.N. as the first-ever day of global ceasefire, as well as the vaccination against polio of 4.5 million children since 2007. The filmmaker will be attendance at this gala screening event, presented in partnership with Coca-Cola and Peace One Day organization. Sound good? Some very lucky readers will have the opportunity to attend a screening at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema.
