A star-studded Australian documentary which won Best Feature Film and Best Documentary Director for Feature Film at the Monaco International Film Festival
With a powerful and moving message on the vital importance of peace to world sustainability, Soldiers of Peace takes the viewer on an inspiring journey across 5 continents and 14 countries to show the extraordinary peace efforts of ordinary individuals across the globe.
Narrated by actor Michael Douglas and featuring interviews with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof, Sir Richard Branson, Dr Hans Blix, and Tim Flannery, Soldiers of Peace aims to put peace back on the world agenda and to illustrate the connection between individual acts of enterprise and heroism and the systemic changes needed for our planet's survival in the 21st Century.
The film visits religious fundamentalists in Nigeria who preach a peaceful co-existence; IRA bomber Pat Magee reconciling with the daughter of one of his victims; a young Kenyan woman bringing clashing tribes together through football; and former militia men who advocate peace through music.
A One Tree Films' production, Soldiers of Peace is the brainchild of Australian businessman and philanthropist, Steve Killelea, who is also the founder of the Global Peace Index, an annual ranking of the world's most peaceful nations. It is directed and filmed by award-winning director and war correspondent, Tim Wise.
