One day after peace, réalisé par les Israéliens Miri et Erez Laufer, actuellement en compétition au Festival international du film des droits de l’homme à Paris, porte l’espoir qu’un jour Palestiniens et Israéliens feront la paix comme les Sud-Africains : en demandant la vérité et le pardon. Le Secours Catholique participait au débat qui a suivi la projection. ” Secours Catholique - February 11, 2013

“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
“This film is jam-packed with raw emotion and complex geopolitical issues … a powerful and moving testament to a woman's courage and the potential for healing in one of the world's most intractable conflict zones…”— Toronto.com - May 2, 2012
“The great strength of "One Day After Peace" is that neither Robi Damelin nor the filmmakers pretend that those questions have easy or definitive answers. The resulting work is one that nags at the conscience long after the end credits have rolled…”— The Jewish Week October 2012

There's one particular scene where a woman in Soweto unexpectedly recognises Vlok, which will haunt you long after the screening…”—Daily Maverick - June 7, 2012

“a layered, carefully rendered exploration of one woman's attempt to find her way through a horror which doesn't yield to platitudes or a simple division of sides … the documentary is a rare gift in the growing body of documentary film dedicated to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict…”— Torontoist - April 23, 2012

Just imagine Ehud Barak kneeling one day in the Jenin refugee camp to wash the feet of a bereaved Palestinian father …”— Gideon Levy, Haaretz Tel- Aviv, September 2012
“After seeing One Day After Peace I reached out my hand to the row behind and took hold of the hand of the old woman sitting behind me. I had realised she was the protagonist of the film and I was moved, and wanted to show it. Robi Damelin squeezes my hand before the light comes back on in the theatre, where a packed audience is giving the film a standing ovation. What is special about Damelin is that she has chosen to reconcile with the Palestinians who killed her son, an Israeli soldier. …”— Truls Lie, DOX Magazine, Autum 2012
