Synopsis

Marking the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter, the film offers unprecedented access to never-before-seen UN archives and candid interviews with Ban, his inner circle, and global leaders like Nobel laureate Juan Manuel Santos and Open Society’s Mark Malloch Brown. It tackles urgent questions about the UN’s role in today’s crises—from Ukraine to Gaza—asking whether “quiet diplomacy” can still work in a world on fire.
