What the petition asks
We think that the youth of today would benefit from viewing Peter Jackson's amazing new documentary film about WWI.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
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.
