Peace One Day’s spectacular annual event will this year include performances by Patti Smith (acoustic), Charlie Winston, special guest Youssou NDour and Yodelice and be presented by POD Ambassador Jude Law alongside Sharon Stone. The concert, broadcast exclusively by Cinémoi on Sky 343, will help raise awareness of Peace Day and inspire people to act on the day.
Cinémoi, the Luxury French Movie channel on Sky 343 is announced today as the exclusive UK broadcaster to cover the Peace One Day celebration 2010 from Le Zenith Paris; this is the second year Cinémoi have broadcast Peace One Day's annual celebration in the UK.
The non-profit organisation Peace One Day (POD) was founded by British filmmaker Jeremy Gilley in 1999. POD's efforts resulted in the unanimous adoption by UN member states of the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September - Peace Day. POD's objective is to institutionalise Peace Day around the world; with the POD annual concert as a key tool in that process.
