It's due out later this year, and you can help it gain wider release.
Hearing about the film prompted me to dig up this classic photo I got somewhere:
From their Web site: http://unmemovie.com
The United Nations was founded on the principles of maintaining international security and promoting the dignity of mankind. But as the 20th century became the 21st century, it seems that we haven't seen a marked improvement in our defense of human rights and collective security. U.N Me is a film that exposes the perversity of the U.N. and its failure to live up to its founding principles all wrapped up in a highly entertaining film.Promotional text from their Web site:
U.N. Me has uncovered the disturbing truth that an organization that was created to ennoble man has instead been ravaged by corruption, enables evil and sows global chaos. The film has a very strong emphasis on entertainment.
U.N. Me is irreverent, humorous and intense, using thoughtful and powerful interviews, dramatic images, hard-hitting politics and caustic commentary.
Filming has taken place on location in exotic settings throughout Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
An incredible new movie is coming soon, and I wanted to make sure you knew about it.The team behind "U.N. Me"
When the United Nations was founded more than sixty years ago, it embodied our hope for a safer, more peaceful world. But as reports of human rights violations and international conflicts make daily headlines, a question arises: is the United Nations living up to its founding ideals?
The answer is a resounding NO.
In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmakers Ami Horowitz and Matthew Groff show how an organization created to ennoble mankind has instead become the clubhouse of dictators, tyrants and thugs. U.N. Me takes us on a harrowing and darkly humorous tour of the U.N.'s scandalous disregard for the people and principles it was founded to defend.
