 Jude Law: Plans to promote peace in Afghanistan
Jude Law has set his foot on Afghanistan for promoting peace in this war-wrecked country.
More news about Jude Law has been inferred from quite a number of sources. Together with director Jeremy Gilley, this Oscar-nominated actor Jude Law has returned to Afghanistan in order to help sustain the impetus for Peace Day. It was an annual day on Sept. 21 thereby urging a global cease-fire and nonviolence.
In the year 2001 the United Nations General Assembly has adopted Peace Day. This was followed by a lobbying campaign by Gilley that has been documented in the film called "Peace One Day."
"When I left Kabul last year, I was hugely moved not by the conflict that I have read so much about, but by the people's courage and the people's sense of hope," Jude Law told this to the reporters in Kabul on Monday.
"It seemed that they really want to make this day, the Peace Day, work. And they did," Law said. "People recognize the day, because they recognize that lives could be saved."
Renowned for his roles in films like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain," Jude Law helped Gilley to produce his second documentary film, called "The Day After Peace."
The documentary, which also features ex U.N. chief Kofi Annan, the Dalai Lama, Angelina Jolie, Annie Lennox and Jonny Lee Miller, plans the way the Peace Day can be used as a focus for saving lives. This comment has been inferred from Gilley.
Law added that the movie "was the most important film I have been part of."
Jude Law and Gilley, who arrived in Kabul on Sunday, have planned to see President Hamid Karzai, top NATO and U.N. officials, and also other members of the aid community.
Last year, they traveled and carried on the shooting of the film in treacherous areas of eastern Afghanistan for promoting the day, on which they hope that the weapons will fall silent, thereby permitting to help to reach those most people in need.
Gilley said in Afghanistan over 1.4 million children could be vaccinated against polio on Peace Day as a result.
"The world celebrates so many days that often separate and segregate us ... and yet there is none that ties us all together," added Jude Law.
He said that the common Afghan people, who marched and prayed as they marked Peace Day last year, are amongst the film's stars.
"It is Peace Day's commitment to take this film as a message from people of Afghanistan to the rest of the world," commented Law.
The visit coincides with one of most violent periods of Afghanistan since the ouster of the Taliban from power in the year 2001. More than three thousand and seven hundred people have died as a result of the war this year. Most of the terrorists have mostly died.
Jude Law said that even as Kabul has become more dangerous, he is still hopeful amongst its people who have remained surprisingly high.
If "it is possible here, it is possible everywhere," commented Gilley. |
