Screening: Peace One Day

A couple of nights ago, I attended a screening of Peace One Day. It is a documentary following Jeremy Gilley as he knocks on the doors around the world, asking our highest officials to endorse the United Nations day of peace. (September 21st of each year) He talks to all of today's big wigs: Dalai Lama, Kofi Annan, Oscar Arias.
Interestingly enough, the International Day of Peace has been brought to my awareness in the last couple of years, and it seems Jeremy had a lot to do with it. It is a truly beautiful film about how one person who has enough drive and passion can work towards making a difference.
He is currently on his next project which is the sequel to Peace One Day, which I believe is he working towards having a truly ceasefire day celebrated on the September the 21st.

Art: When My Heart Began to Sing

These images are my memory from February 15, 2003 in NYC, when half a million people stood in twenty degree weather and said no to war.
This is the day my life changed, and I began to understand my life purpose.

Eighty Year Wait 5min
1999
Director: Megumi Nishikura & Lise Johnson

Hey this is a short film Lise and I made at Film School during our sophmore year. It's one of the first videos we made, but it still has such a special place in our heart. This really doesn't have anything to do with my peace actvisim but it can't hurt to showcase fun work!
