It highlights the historic creation of UN Peacekeeping and the challenges of fighting “the war against war”. The film provides the audience with insight into the formidable challenges facing peacekeepers and the committed individuals who serve some of the most victimized and vulnerable populations on earth. The film also highlights the work of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti, showing how UN Peacekeepers responded to the devastating earthquake in January 2010.



A panel discussion will follow the film screening with senior members of UN Peacekeeping and the director of the film, Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens.

Join the United Nations Association - Southern New York State Division, the UNA-USA Young Professionals of Southern New York, the UNA-USA's Council of Organizations, and the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations and Field Support to learn about UN Peacekeeping and its important efforts.
