This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition The film 'They Shall Not Grow Old' be shown in ALL schools before end of 2018.

We think that the youth of today would benefit from viewing Peter Jackson's amazing new documentary film about WWI.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could decide, but would be a decision for individual schools and local authorities.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to start a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about WWI in schools if that is something you would like to see.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
