Peace One Day
September 28, 2008 by clairedean · Leave a Comment
Just watched The Day After Peace documentary by Jeremy Gilley on BBC2. As soon as the film was finished, I went to www.peaceoneday.org and made a commitment to observe Peace Day next year. The number of peacemakers who were being added to the website in the moments after the film finished was a testament to the inspirational work of Jeremy and his team of filmmakers. In my new post as a lecturer at Cally I hope I can show journalism students just how much difference their work in the future can make to the lives of individuals both in their own communities and indeed all around the world. I shall certainly be buying a copy of the DVD to illustrate both the power of journalism and the responsibilities that lie with a journalist to use that power wisely.
