Utter foolishness

So all that's needed for "world peace" is to have people of different religions shoot video about their faiths? Then we sit around the fire holding hands whilst having a "conversation", right?

Tony Blair Faith Foundation Seeks To Bridge Religious Divide
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation has launched a new global film competition to raise the level of understanding between people of different religions. The foundation is inviting young people aged 25 and under from around the world to make a short film demonstrating how their faith inspires them. The films are to be judged by Tony Blair and high profile figures from around the world, including Queen Rania of Jordan, actress Natalie Portman, and preacher and broadcaster Amr Khaled. The three winning films will be premiered at BAFTA in July. The foundation is offering a free portable video camera for the 50 best pitches to enable as many young people as possible to participate. "By gaining insights into the lives of young people across the world this competition has the potential to build bridges across cultural and religious divides," said Blair.
