Entitled “La flamme de la paix – Peace and Sport à travers le monde” (The Flame of Peace – Peace and Sport around the world), the 52-minute documentary, produced by the Government’s Communication department, showcases the organisation’s work through first-hand accounts and previously unseen footage. A team from Monaco Info accompanied Peace and Sport to the Middle East, Latin America, India and Africa for a year.
“Sport is much more than a spectacle; it is a solution, a vehicle for peace based on fairness and respect. That vision, which we share with H.S.H. Prince Albert II, is illustrated in this documentary through concrete actions carried out around the world,” said Joël Bouzou.
Since 2007, Peace and Sport has been demonstrating through its actions around the world that sport is a vehicle for social development. It also aims to establish the Principality as the world’s capital of sport for peace.
