In order to mark the International Day of Living Together in Peace, Casa
Árabe and the Intercultural Spanish-Arab Circle are organizing the
screening of this documentary by Pierre Pirard in Madrid on Thursday,
May 19.
The International Day of Living Together in Peace, declared by the United Nations in 2017, is commemorated each year on May 16. On this occasion, Casa Árabe and the Intercultural Spanish-Arab Circle invite you to the screening of the documentary by Belgian filmmaker Pierre Pirard.
What if, far from the tensions surrounding identity issues and the fear of “otherness,” we showed other realities? (Amin Maalouf, writer and member of the Académie Française).
What if we told stories about daring citizens who reinvent the family, education, social relations, culture, work and more, merely for the sake of a harmonious life among people of different beliefs?
All of Us was produced by a former teacher who witnessed the March 22, 2016 attacks in Brussels, with the goal of understanding not so much things that can cause individuals to be opposed to each other, but instead what can unite them, heal them and end the hatred of others, as well as doing away with divisions, even those which seem insurmountable.
To this end, Pierre Pirard traveled to different regions of the world, some of which have endured major recent conflict. As a result, several people from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Senegal, Lebanon and Indonesia get to tell us what they have managed to put in motion in order to shift from just co-existing to “doing things together.” What if we all took part?
“We, the citizens of the world, political, economic and social leaders, proclaim our adherence to the Universal Declaration on Living Together in Peace, to promote tolerance, inclusiveness, understanding and solidarity, and to express our deep desire to live and act together, united in difference and diversity, to build a sustainable world based on peace, solidarity and harmony.” Excerpt from UN resolution A/RES/72/130 for the enactment of the International Day of Living Together in Peace.
