    Hello Prof Roger
    I Hope that our film “One Day After Peace” will interest you and Manchester University library.
    ONE DAY AFTER PEACE the critically acclaimed documentary is available from Docs For Education.
    http://docsforeducation.com/
    The film is being screened NOW all over the world at the most prestigious film festivals and just won the Grand Prix at the Human Rights Film Festival in Paris. We are very proud that we can offer the film to institute, university and colleges libraries when it’s still showing in Festivals/theatres across the globe.
    For more information on this film, including a full list of festival screenings and reviews, visit :

    “Peace may be difficult to imagine, but this brave and inspiring film puts the process in a global, historical context that helps us glimpse what might be possible…” — Urban Times London, May 8, 2012

    The following university libraries have already purchased the film: DePaul (Chicago), Ithaca (NY), Marquette(WI), Las-Vegas (NV), St.Nichols (MA), Chapell Hill (NC), Tel-Aviv & Jerusalem (Israel), Otago (New-Zealand), Brandon & York (Canada), Utrecht (The Nederlands), Wellesley college (MA), Kennesaw (GA), Austin CC (TX), Eastern Washington (WA), School for Peace (Cambodia) SOAS (London UK)
    ONE DAY AFTER PEACE has had a strong impact on people who watch it, we’ve been thrilled at the impact it made on the audiences and the views & discussions it arises. When making a documentary film, we ask ourselves – can the film make a change? Can a film move peoples’ minds and hearts?
    With this film I and the filmmakers believe WE CAN.
    For purchasing the film for your Library/institution and for special screenings Please contact me at: laufern@netvision.net.il

    Here is a glimpse of my story:

    My name is Tracy Smith Himes and my brother served in Vietnam in the 1st Air Cavalry, 1966-1969 (A/2/20th). I recently spoke at a 50th War Commemorative Event and the response was very positive. Veterans in attendance heard my brother’s story and felt an alliance with the thought provoking – but simple – words of this teenage soldier growing up at war as a door gunner. My brother’s raw truths are revealed in his 99 letters written home to our parents that I plan to publish. The speaking engagement resulted in several keynote invitations to speak to DAR groups and Quilts of Valor annual Veterans Celebration this Fall.

    My brother’s letters unveiled a hero I never knew, and in researching the details of the battles he endured, I discovered my brother’s voice and valor. The process of discussing the truth of what happens in a chaotic war zone – and other hard topics many people, not just soldier’s, encounter from traumatic situations – starts the healing process and offers hope. I’ve seen many of the people who have heard the story and read the letters feel empathy, immediately open up and begin to voice their own stories, some for the first time. You can see the healing in their eyes with every story.

    Although a couple of raw topics are quoted, it’s designed to be an inspiring message, sprinkled with funny war stories and a call to action to find and share their voices.

    There is a story in every soldier that needs to be voiced. Recorded for history, for legacy, for truth. We want our children and grandchildren to see our old pictures, watch the few remaining audio or video recordings, read the letters and hear first-hand of the memories that remain in the few Vietnam Veterans willing to talk. Future generations need to be educated by us, their loved ones, on what it takes to have a free society, the true and brutal price of war and the honor that comes with Military sacrifice and service.
    Bottom Line: There is healing in revealing and freedom in truth. Let Freedom Ring!
