About
the Movie: 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 now actually enables evil and
sows global chaos. 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. Along the way we learn:
How
a U.N. peacekeeping force stationed in Cote d'Ivoire fired into
a crowd of unarmed protesters, injuring and killing dozens, and
how the U.N. failed to investigate.
How the largest U.N. humanitarian effort ever conceived, the Oil
for Food Program, devolved into one of the biggest scams in the
history of the world, and how the U.N. never disciplined or fired
the culprits.
How the organization that ought to be leading the international
effort to eradicate terrorism cannot, seven years after 9/11, agree
on a definition of "terrorism."
How
the U.N.'s Human Rights Council prolonged the genocide in Darfur
by attempting to discredit the urgent recommendations of its own
investigative team.
Balancing
these stories against exclusive interviews with former U.N. ambassador
John Bolton, former CIA Director James Woolsey, former U.N. weapons
inspector Charles Duelfer, Nobel laureate Jody Williams, and others,
U.N. Me delivers an unforgettable account of how the world's foremost
humanitarian organization has become the clubhouse of dictators,
thugs, and tyrants.
