Jude Law To Premiere World Peace Film In Afghanistan

 

British actor Jude Law is planning a trip to Afghanistan to premiere a film about world peace.  He paid a secret visit out that way last year, where he met officials and filmed discussions about the United Nation’s annual Peace Day.

Law enjoyed the anonymity he found in the country and is determined to return there to screen the film for the Afghan people. 

 ”They had no idea who I was. I was really there as a B cameraman. Organisations can drown under the weight of too many faces. But I will return to Afghanistan to show the film there.”

The UN voted unanimously to adopt Peace Day in 2001 after a campaign by Law’s friend, British movie-maker Jeremy Gilley.  The resulting film formed part of documentary The Day After Peace, which received its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival on Monday.
