Several Brigham Young University students worked together to release a video featuring the Christmas truce that took place during World War I on Christmas Eve 100 years ago.
In the video, original photographs from 1914 are shown as the BYU Men's Chorus sings "Silent Night," and the story is told of how peace became possible between British and German soldiers.
Students in BYU's animation and graphic design program enhanced the photographs, while film students shot original footage in Belgium of the present-day Flanders Fields, according to a press release.
After encouraging viewers to find peace in the modern world today, the video concludes with the hashtag #peaceispossible.
The video was released Monday in conjunction with Faith Counts, an interfaith organization designed to promote faith.
"It is a true story of how faith has the power to bring hope, even in the darkest times," Faith Counts spokesperson Kerry Troup told BYU.
"The video that the students of BYU, one of our many faith partners, have produced showcases this story in a beautiful, creative way that we know others will enjoy and hopefully share," Troup said.
