I was basically concerned about what was going on in the world.
0
0
3000
Меня всегда беспокоило, что происходит в мире.
00:18
I couldn't understand
1
3000
2000
Я не мог найти объяснения
00:20
the starvation, the destruction,
2
5000
2000
ни голоду, ни разрухе,
00:22
the killing of innocent people.
3
7000
2000
ни гибели ни в чём не повинных людей.
00:24
Making sense of those things
4
9000
2000
Найти смысл во всём этом
00:26
is a very difficult thing to do.
5
11000
3000
довольно сложно.
00:29
And when I was 12, I became an actor.
6
14000
3000
В 12 лет я стал актером.
00:32
I was bottom of the class. I haven't got any qualifications.
7
17000
3000
Оценки у меня были низкие, специальность я не получил.
00:35
I was told I was dyslexic.
8
20000
3000
Мне сказали, что у меня дислексия.
00:38
In fact, I have got qualifications.
9
23000
2000
Вообще-то, у меня есть специальность.
00:40
I got a D in pottery, which was the one thing that I did get --
10
25000
2000
Я получил 3 с минусом по гончарному делу, и это моя единственная квалификация,
00:42
which was useful, obviously.
11
27000
2000
что было очень кстати, конечно.
00:44
And so concern
12
29000
2000
В общем, причиной всему
00:46
is where all of this comes from.
13
31000
2000
была озабоченность.
00:48
And then, being an actor, I was doing these different kinds of things,
14
33000
3000
Далее, став актером, я пробовал себя в разных вещах,
00:51
and I felt the content of the work that I was involved in
15
36000
2000
но чувствовал, что это всё не для меня,
00:53
really wasn't cutting it, that there surely had to be more.
16
38000
3000
и что наверняка должно быть что-то ещё.
00:56
And at that point, I read a book by Frank Barnaby,
17
41000
2000
В тот момент мне попалась книга Фрэнка Барнаби,
00:58
this wonderful nuclear physicist,
18
43000
2000
удивительного физика-ядерщика,
01:00
and he said that media had a responsibility,
19
45000
2000
и он заявил, что СМИ несут ответственность,
01:02
that all sectors of society had a responsibility
20
47000
3000
всё общество несёт ответственность за то,
01:05
to try and progress things and move things forward.
21
50000
2000
чтобы было движение вперёд.
01:07
And that fascinated me,
22
52000
2000
Меня восхитила эта мысль,
01:09
because I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life.
23
54000
3000
поскольку почти всю жизнь я пробовал что-то снимать.
01:12
And then I thought, well maybe I could do something.
24
57000
2000
Я подумал, может у меня получится.
01:14
Maybe I could become a filmmaker.
25
59000
2000
Может, мне стать режиссером,
01:16
Maybe I can use the form of film constructively
26
61000
2000
и, используя кинематограф созидательно,
01:18
to in some way make a difference.
27
63000
2000
я смогу внести свой вклад.
01:20
Maybe there's a little change I can get involved in.
28
65000
3000
Может, это и будет моим участием в переменах.
01:23
So I started thinking about peace,
29
68000
2000
Так я стал размышлять о мире,
01:25
and I was obviously, as I said to you,
30
70000
2000
и, конечно же, как я уже говорил,
01:27
very much moved by these images,
31
72000
2000
я был взволнован такими кадрами,
01:29
trying to make sense of that.
32
74000
2000
пытался их как-то осмыслить.
01:31
Could I go and speak to older and wiser people
33
76000
2000
Может, люди, которые старше и мудрее меня,
01:33
who would tell me how they made sense
34
78000
2000
могли бы поделиться со мной своим взглядом
01:35
of the things that are going on?
35
80000
2000
на эти проблемы?
01:37
Because it's obviously incredibly frightening.
36
82000
2000
Потому что всё это, конечно, ужасно.
01:39
But I realized that,
37
84000
2000
И я понял,
01:41
having been messing around with structure as an actor,
38
86000
2000
имея дело с похожими вещами в качестве актёра,
01:43
that a series of sound bites in itself wasn't enough,
39
88000
3000
что одной серии громких высказываний недостаточно,
01:46
that there needed to be a mountain to climb,
40
91000
2000
что должна быть гора, на которую нужно подняться,
01:48
there needed to be a journey that I had to take.
41
93000
2000
должен быть путь, который нужно пройти.
01:50
And if I took that journey,
42
95000
2000
И если бы я прошёл этот путь,
01:52
no matter whether it failed or succeeded, it would be completely irrelevant.
43
97000
2000
Было бы неважно - добился я чего-то или нет.
01:54
The point was that I would have something
44
99000
2000
Главное – у меня были бы основания
01:56
to hook the questions of -- is humankind fundamentally evil?
45
101000
3000
спросить, является ли человечество в своей основе злом?
01:59
Is the destruction of the world inevitable? Should I have children?
46
104000
2000
Будет ли мир неизбежно уничтожен? Стоит ли мне заводить детей?
02:01
Is that a responsible thing to do? Etc., etc.
47
106000
3000
Насколько это ответственный поступок? И т.д.
02:04
So I was thinking about peace,
48
109000
2000
Так что, размышляя о мире,
02:06
and then I was thinking, well where's the starting point for peace?
49
111000
2000
я задался вопросом, есть ли отправная точка для мира?
02:08
And that was when I had the idea.
50
113000
2000
И мне пришла в голову мысль.
02:10
There was no starting point for peace.
51
115000
2000
Не было такой отправной точки.
02:12
There was no day of global unity.
52
117000
2000
Не существовало дня всемирного единства.
02:14
There was no day of intercultural cooperation.
53
119000
2000
Не существовало дня межкультурного сотрудничества.
02:16
There was no day when humanity came together,
54
121000
2000
Не было дня, когда человечество собралось,
02:18
separate in all of those things
55
123000
2000
все со своими отдельными проблемами,
02:20
and just shared it together --
56
125000
2000
и просто разделили их друг с другом,
02:22
that we're in this together,
57
127000
2000
потому что это всех нас касается,
02:24
and that if we united and we interculturally cooperated,
58
129000
3000
и если бы разные культуры могли сотрудничать как одно целое,
02:27
then that might be the key to humanity's survival.
59
132000
2000
то это могло бы быть ключом к выживанию человечества.
02:29
That might shift the level of consciousness
60
134000
2000
Это могло бы изменить уровень сознания
02:31
around the fundamental issues that humanity faces --
61
136000
3000
по фундаментальным проблемам человечества,
02:34
if we did it just for a day.
62
139000
2000
если бы мы объединились хотя бы на один день.
02:36
So obviously we didn't have any money.
63
141000
2000
Конечно, у нас не было денег.
02:38
I was living at my mom's place.
64
143000
3000
Я жил у мамы.
02:41
And we started writing letters to everybody.
65
146000
3000
И мы стали всем писать письма.
02:44
You very quickly work out what is it that you've got to do
66
149000
3000
Выработать план действий
02:47
to fathom that out.
67
152000
2000
было не так уж и трудно.
02:49
How do you create a day voted by every single head of state in the world
68
154000
3000
Как заручиться поддержкой глав государств
02:52
to create the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,
69
157000
2000
и учредить первый в истории День перемирия и отказа от насилия
02:54
the 21st of September?
70
159000
2000
21 сентября?
02:56
And I wanted it to be the 21st of September
71
161000
2000
Я хотел, чтобы это было 21 сентября,
02:58
because it was my granddad's favorite number.
72
163000
2000
поскольку это было любимое число моего деда.
03:00
He was a prisoner of war.
73
165000
2000
Он был военнопленным.
03:02
He saw the bomb go off at Nagasaki.
74
167000
2000
Он видел бомбардировку Нагасаки.
03:04
It poisoned his blood. He died when I was 11.
75
169000
3000
Это привело к заболеванию крови. Он умер, когда мне было 11.
03:07
So he was like my hero.
76
172000
2000
Я им очень гордился.
03:09
And the reason why 21 was the number is
77
174000
2000
А почему именно число 21, -
03:11
700 men left, 23 came back,
78
176000
2000
Потому что 700 человек ушло, 23 вернулось,
03:13
two died on the boat and 21 hit the ground.
79
178000
2000
двое умерли на лодке и 21 высадились на берег.
03:15
And that's why we wanted it to be the 21st of September as the date of peace.
80
180000
3000
Поэтому мы хотели сделать днём мира именно 21 сентября.
03:18
So we began this journey,
81
183000
2000
Встав на этот путь,
03:20
and we launched it in 1999.
82
185000
2000
мы стартовали в 1999 году.
03:22
And we wrote to heads of state, their ambassadors,
83
187000
3000
Мы писали главам государств, их послам,
03:25
Nobel Peace laureates, NGOs, faiths,
84
190000
2000
лауреатам Нобелевской премии мира, неправительственным организациям, концессиям,
03:27
various organizations -- literally wrote to everybody.
85
192000
3000
различным организациям - в буквальном смысле всем.
03:30
And very quickly, some letters started coming back.
86
195000
3000
И очень скоро стали приходить ответы.
03:33
And we started to build this case.
87
198000
3000
Мы начали набирать материал.
03:36
And I remember the first letter.
88
201000
2000
Я помню первое письмо.
03:38
One of the first letters was from the Dalai Lama.
89
203000
2000
Одно из первых писем было от Далай-Ламы.
03:40
And of course we didn't have the money; we were playing guitars
90
205000
2000
Конечно, у нас не было денег. Мы играли на гитарах,
03:42
and getting the money for the stamps that we were sending out all of [this mail].
91
207000
3000
чтобы заработать на марки для всех этих писем.
03:45
A letter came through from the Dalai Lama saying,
92
210000
2000
В письме Далай-лама сказал:
03:47
"This is an amazing thing. Come and see me.
93
212000
2000
«Это потрясающе. Приезжайте.
03:49
I'd love to talk to you about the first ever day of peace."
94
214000
2000
Я бы с удовольствием обсудил первый в истории день мира».
03:51
And we didn't have money for the flight.
95
216000
2000
А у нас не было денег на авиабилеты.
03:53
And I rang Sir Bob Ayling, who was CEO of BA at the time,
96
218000
3000
Я позвонил Бобу Эйлингу, генеральному директору British Airways в то время,
03:56
and said, "Mate, we've got this invitation.
97
221000
2000
и сказал: "Приятель, у нас есть приглашение.
03:58
Could you give me a flight? Because we're going to go see him."
98
223000
3000
Мы собираемся встретиться с ним. Ты не поможешь с перелётом?"
04:01
And of course, we went and saw him and it was amazing.
99
226000
2000
Конечно, мы встретились, и это было потрясающе.
04:03
And then Dr. Oscar Arias came forward.
100
228000
2000
Потом откликнулся Оскар Ариас.
04:05
And actually, let me go back to that slide,
101
230000
2000
Позвольте, я вернусь к этому слайду,
04:07
because when we launched it in 1999 --
102
232000
2000
потому что, когда в 1999 году мы начали развивать эту идею -
04:09
this idea to create the first ever day of ceasefire and non-violence --
103
234000
3000
учредить первый в истории день прекращения огня и отказа от насилия -
04:12
we invited thousands of people.
104
237000
2000
мы пригласили тысячи людей.
04:14
Well not thousands -- hundreds of people, lots of people --
105
239000
3000
Может, не тысячи, но сотни, - кучу народа.
04:17
all the press, because we were going to try and create
106
242000
2000
И прессу, ведь мы собирались учредить
04:19
the first ever World Peace Day, a peace day.
107
244000
2000
первый в истории Международный День Мира.
04:21
And we invited everybody,
108
246000
2000
Мы пригласили всех,
04:23
and no press showed up.
109
248000
2000
но журналисты не пришли.
04:25
There were 114 people there -- they were mostly my friends and family.
110
250000
3000
Собралось 114 человек - в основном мои друзья и родственники.
04:28
And that was kind of like the launch of this thing.
111
253000
2000
Это было что-то вроде старта.
04:30
But it didn't matter because we were documenting, and that was the thing.
112
255000
3000
Но это не имело значения, потому что мы сами всё задокументировали.
04:33
For me, it was really about the process.
113
258000
2000
Для меня важен был процесс,
04:35
It wasn't about the end result.
114
260000
2000
а не конечный результат.
04:37
And that's the beautiful thing about the camera.
115
262000
2000
И в этом вся прелесть съёмки.
04:39
They used to say the pen is mightier than the sword. I think the camera is.
116
264000
3000
Говорят, перо сильнее меча. Я думаю, камера ещё сильнее.
04:42
And just staying in the moment with it was a beautiful thing
117
267000
2000
Эти моменты прекрасны сами по себе,
04:44
and really empowering actually.
118
269000
2000
и были для нас источником вдохновения.
04:46
So anyway, we began the journey.
119
271000
2000
Так или иначе, мы взялись за это.
04:48
And here you see people like Mary Robinson, I went to see in Geneva.
120
273000
3000
Здесь вы видите таких людей, как Мэри Робинсон, я ездил к ней в Женеву.
04:51
I'm cutting my hair, it's getting short and long,
121
276000
2000
Тут я постриг волосы, они то короткие, то длинные,
04:53
because every time I saw Kofi Annan,
122
278000
2000
потому что каждый раз, когда мы встречались с Кофи Аннаном,
04:55
I was so worried that he thought I was a hippie that I cut it,
123
280000
3000
я волновался, что он подумает, что я хиппи, поэтому я стриг их покороче.
04:58
and that was kind of what was going on.
124
283000
2000
Примерно так это всё происходило.
05:00
(Laughter)
125
285000
3000
(Смех)
05:03
Yeah, I'm not worried about it now.
126
288000
2000
Да, сейчас меня это уже не беспокоит.
05:05
So Mary Robinson,
127
290000
2000
Так вот, Мэри Робинсон
05:07
she said to me, "Listen, this is an idea whose time has come. This must be created."
128
292000
3000
сказала мне: "Время для этой идеи пришло. Нужно это реализовать".
05:10
Kofi Annan said, "This will be beneficial to my troops on the ground."
129
295000
3000
Кофи Аннан сказал: "Это поможет нашим миротворческим миссиям".
05:13
The OAU at the time, led by Salim Ahmed Salim,
130
298000
2000
Салим Ахмед Салим, председатель Организации Африканского Единства в тот момент,
05:15
said, "I must get the African countries involved."
131
300000
2000
сказал: "Я должен добиться участия африканских стран".
05:17
Dr. Oscar Arias, Nobel Peace laureate,
132
302000
2000
Д-р Оскар Ариас, лауреат Нобелевской премии мира,
05:19
president now of Costa Rica,
133
304000
2000
нынче президент Коста-Рики,
05:21
said, "I'll do everything that I can."
134
306000
2000
сказал: "Я сделаю всё, что смогу".
05:23
So I went and saw Amr Moussa at the League of Arab States.
135
308000
3000
Я встречался с Амиром Мусой, генеральным секретарём Лиги Арабских Государств.
05:26
I met Mandela at the Arusha peace talks,
136
311000
2000
Я встречался с Манделой на мирных переговорах в Аруше.
05:28
and so on and so on and so on --
137
313000
2000
И так далее, и так далее –
05:30
while I was building the case
138
315000
2000
одновременно набирая материал,
05:32
to prove whether this idea
139
317000
2000
чтобы убедиться, что в этой затее
05:34
would make sense.
140
319000
2000
есть смысл.
05:36
And then we were listening to the people. We were documenting everywhere.
141
321000
3000
Мы слушали, что говорят люди. И везде документировали.
05:39
76 countries in the last 12 years, I've visited.
142
324000
3000
За последние 12 лет я посетил 76 стран.
05:42
And I've always spoken to women and children wherever I've gone.
143
327000
2000
Где бы я не был, я всегда беседовал с женщинами и детьми.
05:44
I've recorded 44,000 young people.
144
329000
2000
Я записал на плёнку 44000 молодых людей,
05:46
I've recorded about 900 hours of their thoughts.
145
331000
2000
около 900 часов их мыслей.
05:48
I'm really clear about how young people feel
146
333000
3000
Я чётко представляю себе, что молодые люди чувствуют,
05:51
when you talk to them about this idea
147
336000
2000
когда вы обсуждаете с ними
05:53
of having a starting point for their actions for a more peaceful world
148
338000
3000
эту отправную точку их действий во благо мира во всём мире
05:56
through their poetry, their art, their literature,
149
341000
2000
с помощью их поэзии, искусства, литературы,
05:58
their music, their sport, whatever it might be.
150
343000
2000
их музыки, спорта или чего угодно ещё.
06:00
And we were listening to everybody.
151
345000
2000
И мы слушали всех.
06:02
And it was an incredibly thing, working with the U.N.
152
347000
2000
Это было невероятно, - работать совместно с ООН
06:04
and working with NGOs and building this case.
153
349000
2000
и неправительственными организациями над этим проектом.
06:06
I felt that I was presenting a case
154
351000
2000
У меня было ощущение, что я действую
06:08
on behalf of the global community
155
353000
2000
от имени всего мирового сообщества,
06:10
to try and create this day.
156
355000
2000
пытаясь учредить этот день.
06:12
And the stronger the case and the more detailed it was,
157
357000
2000
И чем больше у нас становилось материала,
06:14
the better chance we had of creating this day.
158
359000
3000
тем выше были наши шансы учредить этот день.
06:17
And it was this stuff, this,
159
362000
3000
И получилось так,
06:20
where I actually was in the beginning
160
365000
2000
что в начале я думал,
06:22
kind of thinking no matter what happened, it didn't actually matter.
161
367000
2000
независимо от того, что произойдёт,
06:24
It didn't matter if it didn't create a day of peace.
162
369000
2000
неважно, приведёт ли это ко дню мира.
06:26
The fact is that, if I tried and it didn't work,
163
371000
3000
Что, если бы я попытался, и ничего не вышло,
06:29
then I could make a statement
164
374000
2000
то тогда я бы мог заявить,
06:31
about how unwilling the global community is to unite --
165
376000
2000
что мировое сообщество не готово объединиться.
06:33
until, it was in Somalia, picking up that young girl.
166
378000
3000
Пока однажды, в Сомали, я не взял на руки маленькую девочку,
06:36
And this young child
167
381000
2000
ребёнка,
06:38
who'd taken about an inch and a half out of her leg with no antiseptic,
168
383000
3000
которому ампутировали 4см ноги без обезболивающего.
06:41
and that young boy who was a child soldier,
169
386000
2000
А другой мальчишка, он был солдатом,
06:43
who told me he'd killed people -- he was about 12 --
170
388000
3000
рассказал мне, что убивал людей, - ему было около 12.
06:46
these things made me realize
171
391000
3000
После этого я понял,
06:49
that this was not a film that I could just stop.
172
394000
3000
что я не могу просто прекратить снимать это фильм.
06:52
And that actually, at that moment something happened to me,
173
397000
3000
В тот момент со мной что-то произошло,
06:55
which obviously made me go, "I'm going to document.
174
400000
2000
и я решил, что буду снимать.
06:57
If this is the only film that I ever make,
175
402000
2000
Пусть это будет мой единственный фильм,
06:59
I'm going to document until this becomes a reality."
176
404000
3000
Но я буду работать над ним, пока он не станет реальностью.
07:02
Because we've got to stop, we've got to do something
177
407000
3000
Потому что это надо прекратить, мы должны сделать что-то,
07:05
where we unite --
178
410000
2000
что объединит нас
07:07
separate from all the politics and religion
179
412000
2000
вне политики и религии,
07:09
that, as a young person, is confusing me.
180
414000
2000
которые мне, молодому человеку, не понятны.
07:11
I don't know how to get involved in that process.
181
416000
2000
Я не знаю, как принять в них участие.
07:13
And then on the seventh of September, I was invited to New York.
182
418000
3000
Затем, на 7 сентября я был приглашён в Нью-Йорк.
07:16
The Costa Rican government and the British government
183
421000
2000
Правительства Коста-Рики и Великобритании
07:18
had put forward to the United Nations General Assembly,
184
423000
2000
выдвинули на Генеральной Ассамблее ООН,
07:20
with 54 co-sponsors,
185
425000
2000
при поддержке 54 членов,
07:22
the idea of the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,
186
427000
3000
идею первого в истории Дня прекращении огня и отказа от насилия
07:25
the 21st of September, as a fixed calendar date,
187
430000
3000
с конкретной датой, 21 сентября,
07:28
and it was unanimously adopted by every head of state in the world.
188
433000
3000
и он был единогласно принят всеми главами государств в мире.
07:31
(Applause)
189
436000
7000
(Аплодисменты)
07:38
Yeah, but there were hundreds of individuals, obviously, who made that a reality.
190
443000
4000
Конечно же, это результат усилий сотен людей.
07:42
And thank you to all of them.
191
447000
2000
Всем им огромное спасибо.
07:44
That was an incredible moment.
192
449000
2000
Это было невероятно.
07:46
I was at the top of the General Assembly just looking down into it and seeing it happen.
193
451000
2000
Я сидел сверху на Генеральной Ассамблее и наблюдал, как это всё происходит.
07:48
And as I mentioned, when it started,
194
453000
2000
Я уже упоминал, что, когда это всё начиналось,
07:50
we were at the Globe, and there was no press.
195
455000
2000
пресса проигнорировала наше мероприятие.
07:52
And now I was thinking, "Well, the press it really going to hear this story."
196
457000
3000
И теперь я думал: "Ну, теперь пресса должна услышать об этом".
07:55
And suddenly, we started to institutionalize this day.
197
460000
3000
Этот день начал приобретать официальный статус.
07:58
Kofi Annan invited me on the morning of September the 11th
198
463000
2000
Кофи Аннан пригласил меня утром 11 сентября
08:00
to do a press conference.
199
465000
2000
дать пресс-конференцию.
08:02
And it was 8:00 AM when I stood there.
200
467000
2000
Я был там 8:00 утра,
08:04
And I was waiting for him to come down, and I knew that he was on his way.
201
469000
3000
и ждал, когда он спустится, я знал, что он идет.
08:07
And obviously he never came down. The statement was never made.
202
472000
3000
И, конечно, он не пришёл. Пресс-конференция не состоялась.
08:10
The world was never told there was a day of global ceasefire and nonviolence.
203
475000
3000
Мир так и не узнал о дне глобального прекращения огня и отказа от насилия.
08:13
And it was obviously a tragic moment
204
478000
2000
Это был трагический момент
08:15
for the thousands of people who lost their lives,
205
480000
2000
для тысяч людей, потерявших жизнь
08:17
there and then subsequently all over the world.
206
482000
3000
в тот день в Нью-Йорке и впоследствии во всём мире.
08:20
It never happened.
207
485000
2000
Не судьба.
08:22
And I remember thinking,
208
487000
2000
И я помню, что подумал тогда:
08:24
"This is exactly why, actually,
209
489000
2000
«Именно поэтому
08:26
we have to work even harder.
210
491000
3000
мы должны приложить ещё больше усилий,
08:29
And we have to make this day work.
211
494000
2000
чтобы этот день стал реальностью.
08:31
It's been created; nobody knows.
212
496000
2000
Он учреждён, но никто об этом не знает.
08:33
But we have to continue this journey,
213
498000
2000
Значит, мы должны продолжать работу,
08:35
and we have to tell people,
214
500000
2000
должны рассказывать людям,
08:37
and we have to prove it can work."
215
502000
2000
должны доказать, что всё получится».
08:39
And I left New York freaked,
216
504000
2000
Я уехал из Нью-Йорка шокированный,
08:41
but actually empowered.
217
506000
2000
но в то же время воодушевлённый.
08:43
And I felt inspired
218
508000
2000
Меня вдохновляла мысль, что,
08:45
by the possibilities
219
510000
2000
если бы такой день уже действовал,
08:47
that if it did, then maybe we wouldn't see things like that.
220
512000
4000
всего этого могло и не произойти.
08:51
I remember putting that film out and going to cynics.
221
516000
2000
Я опубликовал свои материалы и отправился по циникам.
08:53
I was showing the film,
222
518000
2000
Я демонстрировал фильм,
08:55
and I remember being in Israel and getting it absolutely slaughtered
223
520000
2000
и помню, как в Израиле его очень жёстко раскритиковала
08:57
by some guys having watched the film --
224
522000
2000
часть зрителей,
08:59
that it's just a day of peace, it doesn't mean anything.
225
524000
3000
заявив, что это всего лишь один день мира, и он ничего не значит.
09:02
It's not going to work; you're not going to stop the fighting in Afghanistan;
226
527000
2000
Что ничего не выйдет, боевые действия в Афганистане не прекратятся,
09:04
the Taliban won't listen, etc., etc.
227
529000
3000
талибы не станут даже слушать, и т.д.
09:07
It's just symbolism.
228
532000
2000
Что это всего лишь символическая дата.
09:09
And that was even worse
229
534000
2000
И это было ещё хуже,
09:11
than actually what had just happened in many ways,
230
536000
2000
чем то, что только что произошло,
09:13
because it couldn't not work.
231
538000
5000
потому что это не могло не сработать.
09:18
I'd spoken in Somalia, Burundi, Gaza, the West Bank,
232
543000
2000
Я был в Сомали, Бурунди, Газе, на Западном берегу,
09:20
India, Sri Lanka, Congo, wherever it was,
233
545000
2000
Индии, Шри-Ланка, Конго, где только не был,
09:22
and they'd all tell me, "If you can create a window of opportunity,
234
547000
2000
и везде мне говорили: «Если бы вы создали для нас удобный момент,
09:24
we can move aid, we can vaccinate children.
235
549000
2000
мы бы доставили гуманитарную помощь, поставили бы детям прививки.
09:26
Children can lead their projects.
236
551000
2000
Дети сами могут вести свои проекты.
09:28
They can unite. They can come together. If people would stop, lives will be saved."
237
553000
3000
Они умеют объединиться и действовать сообща. Если люди остановятся, столько жизней будет спасено».
09:31
That's what I'd heard.
238
556000
2000
Вот, что я слышал.
09:33
And I'd heard that from the people who really understood what conflict was about.
239
558000
3000
И слышал я это от людей, которые понимают суть этих конфликтов.
09:36
And so I went back to the United Nations.
240
561000
2000
Я снова отправился в ООН.
09:38
I decided that I'd continue filming and make another movie.
241
563000
2000
Я решил, что продолжу съёмки и сделаю еще один фильм.
09:40
And I went back to the U.N. for another couple of years.
242
565000
3000
И я вернулся в ООН ещё на пару лет.
09:43
We started moving around the corridors of the U.N. system,
243
568000
2000
Мы стали ходить по кабинетам ООН,
09:45
governments and NGOs,
244
570000
2000
правительств и неправительственных организаций,
09:47
trying desperately to find somebody
245
572000
2000
отчаянно пытаясь найти кого-нибудь,
09:49
to come forward and have a go at it,
246
574000
2000
кто вызвался бы сделать что-то
09:51
see if we could make it possible.
247
576000
2000
для осуществления этого.
09:53
And after lots and lots of meetings obviously,
248
578000
2000
И после множества встреч,
09:55
I'm delighted that this man, Ahmad Fawzi,
249
580000
2000
к счастью, Ахмед Фаузи,
09:57
one of my heroes and mentors really,
250
582000
2000
мой пример и наставник,
09:59
he managed to get UNICEF involved.
251
584000
2000
сумел привлечь ЮНИСЕФ.
10:01
And UNICEF, God bless them, they said, "Okay, we'll have a go."
252
586000
2000
И ЮНИСЕФ, благослови их Господь, сказал: "Хорошо, мы попробуем".
10:03
And then UNAMA became involved in Afghanistan.
253
588000
2000
Потом подключилась Миссия ООН в Афганистане.
10:05
It was historical. Could it work in Afghanistan
254
590000
2000
Это стало историческим событием. Получится ли добиться чего-то в Афганистане
10:07
with UNAMA and WHO
255
592000
2000
с участием МООНСА, ВОЗ,
10:09
and civil society, etc., etc., etc.?
256
594000
2000
гражданского общества и т.д.?
10:11
And I was getting it all on film and I was recording it,
257
596000
3000
И я снимал всё это на плёнку
10:14
and I was thinking, "This is it. This is the possibility of it maybe working.
258
599000
3000
и думал: «Это может сработать.
10:17
But even if it doesn't, at least the door is open
259
602000
3000
Но даже если этого не произойдет, по крайней мере, дверь открыта,
10:20
and there's a chance."
260
605000
2000
и всегда есть шанс».
10:22
And so I went back to London,
261
607000
2000
Я вернулся в Лондон
10:24
and I went and saw this chap, Jude Law.
262
609000
2000
и встретился с Джудом Лоу.
10:26
And I saw him because he was an actor, I was an actor,
263
611000
2000
Я знал его, потому что он был актёром, и я был актёром.
10:28
I had a connection to him,
264
613000
2000
10:30
because we needed to get to the press, we needed this attraction,
265
615000
2000
10:32
we needed the media to be involved.
266
617000
2000
10:34
Because if we start pumping it up a bit maybe more people would listen
267
619000
3000
10:37
and there'd be more --
268
622000
2000
10:39
when we got into certain areas,
269
624000
2000
10:41
maybe there would be more people interested.
270
626000
2000
10:43
And maybe we'd be helped financially a little bit more,
271
628000
2000
10:45
which had been desperately difficult.
272
630000
2000
10:47
I won't go into that.
273
632000
2000
10:49
So Jude said, "Okay, I'll do some statements for you."
274
634000
2000
10:51
While I was filming these statements, he said to me, "Where are you going next?"
275
636000
2000
10:53
I said, "I'm going to go to Afghanistan." He said, "Really?"
276
638000
2000
10:55
And I could sort of see a little look in his eye of interest.
277
640000
3000
10:58
So I said to him, "Do you want to come with me?
278
643000
2000
11:00
It'd be really interesting if you came.
279
645000
2000
11:02
It would help and bring attention.
280
647000
2000
11:04
And that attention
281
649000
2000
11:06
would help leverage the situation,
282
651000
2000
11:08
as well as all of the other sides of it."
283
653000
2000
11:10
I think there's a number of pillars to success.
284
655000
2000
11:12
One is you've got to have a great idea.
285
657000
2000
11:14
The other is you've got to have a constituency, you've got to have finance,
286
659000
3000
11:17
and you've got to be able to raise awareness.
287
662000
2000
11:19
And actually I could never raise awareness by myself, no matter what I'd achieved.
288
664000
3000
11:22
So these guys were absolutely crucial.
289
667000
3000
11:25
So he said yes,
290
670000
2000
11:27
and we found ourselves in Afghanistan.
291
672000
2000
11:29
It was a really incredible thing that when we landed there,
292
674000
3000
11:32
I was talking to various people, and they were saying to me,
293
677000
3000
11:35
"You've got to get everybody involved here.
294
680000
2000
11:37
You can't just expect it to work. You have to get out and work."
295
682000
3000
11:40
And we did, and we traveled around,
296
685000
3000
11:43
and we spoke to elders, we spoke to doctors, we spoke to nurses,
297
688000
3000
11:46
we held press conferences, we went out with soldiers,
298
691000
3000
11:49
we sat down with ISAF, we sat down with NATO,
299
694000
2000
11:51
we sat down with the U.K. government.
300
696000
2000
11:53
I mean, we basically sat down with everybody --
301
698000
3000
11:56
in and out of schools with ministers of education,
302
701000
2000
11:58
holding these press conferences,
303
703000
2000
12:00
which of course, now were loaded with press, everybody was there.
304
705000
3000
12:03
There was an interest in what was going on.
305
708000
2000
12:05
This amazing woman, Fatima Gailani, was absolutely instrumental in what went on
306
710000
4000
12:09
as she was the spokesperson for the resistance against the Russians.
307
714000
3000
12:12
And her Afghan network
308
717000
2000
12:14
was just absolutely everywhere.
309
719000
2000
12:16
And she was really crucial in getting the message in.
310
721000
2000
12:18
And then we went home. We'd sort of done it.
311
723000
2000
12:20
We had to wait now and see what happened.
312
725000
2000
12:22
And I got home,
313
727000
2000
12:24
and I remember one of the team bringing in a letter to me
314
729000
3000
12:27
from the Taliban.
315
732000
2000
12:29
And that letter basically said, "We'll observe this day.
316
734000
3000
12:32
We will observe this day.
317
737000
2000
12:34
We see it as a window of opportunity.
318
739000
2000
12:36
And we will not engage. We're not going to engage."
319
741000
3000
12:39
And that meant that humanitarian workers
320
744000
3000
12:42
wouldn't be kidnapped or killed.
321
747000
3000
12:45
And then suddenly, I obviously knew at this point, there was a chance.
322
750000
3000
12:48
And days later,
323
753000
2000
12:50
1.6 million children were vaccinated against polio
324
755000
3000
12:53
as a consequence of everybody stopping.
325
758000
2000
12:55
(Applause)
326
760000
10000
13:05
And like the General Assembly,
327
770000
2000
13:07
obviously the most wonderful, wonderful moment.
328
772000
2000
13:09
And so then we wrapped the film up and we put it together
329
774000
2000
13:11
because we had to go back.
330
776000
2000
13:13
We put it into Dari and Pashto. We put it in the local dialects.
331
778000
3000
13:16
We went back to Afghanistan,
332
781000
2000
13:18
because the next year was coming, and we wanted to support.
333
783000
3000
13:21
But more importantly, we wanted to go back,
334
786000
2000
13:23
because these people in Afghanistan were the heroes.
335
788000
2000
13:25
They were the people who believed in peace
336
790000
3000
13:28
and the possibilities of it, etc., etc. -- and they made it real.
337
793000
3000
13:31
And we wanted to go back and show them the film
338
796000
2000
13:33
and say, "Look, you guys made this possible. And thank you very much."
339
798000
3000
13:36
And we gave the film over.
340
801000
2000
13:38
Obviously it was shown, and it was amazing.
341
803000
2000
13:40
And then that year, that year, 2008,
342
805000
3000
13:43
this ISAF statement from Kabul, Afghanistan, September 17th:
343
808000
3000
13:46
"General Stanley McChrystal,
344
811000
2000
13:48
commander of international security assistance forces in Afghanistan,
345
813000
2000
13:50
announced today ISAF will not conduct offensive military operations
346
815000
3000
13:53
on the 21st of September."
347
818000
2000
13:55
They were saying they would stop.
348
820000
2000
13:57
And then there was this other statement
349
822000
2000
13:59
that came out from the U.N. Department of Security and Safety
350
824000
3000
14:02
saying that, in Afghanistan,
351
827000
2000
14:04
because of this work,
352
829000
2000
14:06
the violence was down by 70 percent.
353
831000
2000
14:08
70 percent reduction in violence on this day at least.
354
833000
3000
14:11
And that completely blew my mind
355
836000
2000
14:13
almost more than anything.
356
838000
2000
14:15
And I remember being stuck in New York, this time because of the volcano,
357
840000
3000
14:18
which was obviously much less harmful.
358
843000
2000
14:20
And I was there thinking about what was going on.
359
845000
2000
14:22
And I kept thinking about this 70 percent.
360
847000
2000
14:24
70 percent reduction in violence --
361
849000
2000
14:26
in what everyone said was completely impossible
362
851000
2000
14:28
and you couldn't do.
363
853000
2000
14:30
And that made me think that, if we can get 70 percent in Afghanistan,
364
855000
3000
14:33
then surely we can get 70 percent reduction everywhere.
365
858000
5000
14:38
We have to go for a global truce.
366
863000
2000
14:40
We have to utilize this day of ceasefire and nonviolence
367
865000
2000
14:42
and go for a global truce,
368
867000
2000
14:44
go for the largest recorded cessation of hostilities,
369
869000
3000
14:47
both domestically and internationally, ever recorded.
370
872000
3000
14:50
That's exactly what we must do.
371
875000
2000
14:52
And on the 21st of September this year,
372
877000
2000
14:54
we're going to launch that campaign at the O2 Arena
373
879000
2000
14:56
to go for that process,
374
881000
2000
14:58
to try and create the largest recorded cessation of hostilities.
375
883000
3000
15:01
And we will utilize all kinds of things --
376
886000
2000
15:03
have a dance and social media
377
888000
2000
15:05
and visiting on Facebook and visit the website, sign the petition.
378
890000
3000
15:08
And it's in the six official languages of the United Nations.
379
893000
3000
15:11
And we'll globally link with government, inter-government,
380
896000
2000
15:13
non-government, education, unions, sports.
381
898000
2000
15:15
And you can see the education box there.
382
900000
2000
15:17
We've got resources at the moment in 174 countries
383
902000
3000
15:20
trying to get young people to be the driving force
384
905000
2000
15:22
behind the vision of that global truce.
385
907000
3000
15:25
And obviously the life-saving is increased, the concepts help.
386
910000
3000
15:28
Linking up with the Olympics --
387
913000
2000
15:30
I went and saw Seb Coe. I said, "London 2012 is about truce.
388
915000
2000
15:32
Ultimately, that's what it's about."
389
917000
2000
15:34
Why don't we all team up? Why don't we bring truce to life?
390
919000
2000
15:36
Why don't you support the process of the largest ever global truce?
391
921000
3000
15:39
We'll make a new film about this process.
392
924000
2000
15:41
We'll utilize sport and football.
393
926000
2000
15:43
On the Day of Peace, there's thousands of football matches all played,
394
928000
3000
15:46
from the favelas of Brazil to wherever it might be.
395
931000
2000
15:48
So, utilizing all of these ways
396
933000
2000
15:50
to inspire individual action.
397
935000
3000
15:53
And ultimately, we have to try that.
398
938000
2000
15:55
We have to work together.
399
940000
2000
15:57
And when I stand here in front of all of you,
400
942000
2000
15:59
and the people who will watch these things,
401
944000
2000
16:02
I'm excited, on behalf of everybody I've met,
402
947000
2000
16:04
that there is a possibility that our world could unite,
403
949000
3000
16:07
that we could come together as one,
404
952000
2000
16:09
that we could lift the level of consciousness around the fundamental issues,
405
954000
2000
16:11
brought about by individuals.
406
956000
2000
16:13
I was with Brahimi, Ambassador Brahimi.
407
958000
2000
16:15
I think he's one of the most incredible men
408
960000
2000
16:17
in relation to international politics -- in Afghanistan, in Iraq.
409
962000
3000
16:20
He's an amazing man.
410
965000
2000
16:22
And I sat with him a few weeks ago.
411
967000
2000
16:24
And I said to him, "Mr. Brahimi, is this nuts, going for a global truce?
412
969000
3000
16:27
Is this possible? Is it really possible that we could do this?"
413
972000
2000
16:29
He said, "It's absolutely possible."
414
974000
2000
16:31
I said, "What would you do?
415
976000
2000
16:33
Would you go to governments and lobby and use the system?"
416
978000
2000
16:35
He said, "No, I'd talk to the individuals."
417
980000
2000
16:37
It's all about the individuals.
418
982000
2000
16:39
It's all about you and me.
419
984000
2000
16:41
It's all about partnerships.
420
986000
2000
16:43
It's about your constituencies; it's about your businesses.
421
988000
2000
16:45
Because together, by working together,
422
990000
2000
16:47
I seriously think we can start to change things.
423
992000
3000
16:50
And there's a wonderful man sitting in this audience, and I don't know where he is,
424
995000
3000
16:53
who said to me a few days ago -- because I did a little rehearsal --
425
998000
3000
16:56
and he said, "I've been thinking about this day
426
1001000
3000
16:59
and imagining it as a square
427
1004000
2000
17:01
with 365 squares,
428
1006000
2000
17:03
and one of them is white."
429
1008000
2000
17:05
And it then made me think about a glass of water, which is clear.
430
1010000
3000
17:08
If you put one drop,
431
1013000
2000
17:10
one drop of something, in that water,
432
1015000
2000
17:12
it'll change it forever.
433
1017000
3000
17:15
By working together, we can create peace one day.
434
1020000
2000
17:17
Thank you TED. Thank you.
435
1022000
2000
17:19
(Applause)
436
1024000
3000
17:22
Thank you.
437
1027000
2000
17:24
(Applause)
438
1029000
4000
17:28
Thanks a lot.
439
1033000
2000
17:30
(Applause)
440
1035000
2000
17:32
Thank you very much. Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jeremy Gilley - Peace activistFilmmaker Jeremy Gilley founded Peace One Day to create an annual day without conflict. And ... it's happening. What will you do to make peace on September 21?
Why you should listen
A day of peace. It seems lovely and hopeful to those of us lucky enough to live in peace already. But to those living in war, a day of peace, a temporary cease-fire, is not only lovely, it's incredibly practical. On a day when no bullets fly, families can go to the clinic, mosquito nets can be given out, and kids who've known only war can learn what peace looks like, sounds like. In short, it's a window of opportunity to build peace. For the past 10 years, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley has been promoting September 21 as a true international day of ceasefire, a day to carry out humanitarian aid in the world's most dangerous zones. The practical challenge is huge, starting with: how to convince both parties in a conflict to put down their weapons and trust the other side to do the same? But Gilley has recorded successes. For instance, on September 21, 2008, some 1.85 million children under 5 years old, in seven Afghan provinces where conflict has previously prevented access, were given a vaccine for polio.
On September 21, 2011, Gilley will start the 365-day-long countdown to Truce 2012, a hoped-for global day of guns-down ceasefire and worldwide action toward peace.
He says: "The only logical progression is to work towards a global cessation of hostilities on Peace Day -- from violence in our homes and schools, through to armed conflict."
