Check out U.N.MeMovie.com, the dedicated website for MPI's newest film, U.N. Me. This documentary is funny and terrifying by turns. It exposes how the world's foremost humanitarian organization has become the clubhouse of dictators, tyrants, and thugs--and now underwrites work very far removed from peacekeeping and human rights. View the trailer and read all about the film at the site--and if you want to see it in theaters, consider making a donation via MPI that will help the cause.
On a related note, check out this interview with Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine--who has big problems with the U.N., and tons of praise for U.N. Me:
When I was younger, there was one incident where a Russian diplomat was absolutely inebriated, drove through a stop sign and killed an American in New York City, then was let off because of diplomatic immunity. If anything, he should have had to have some kind of restitution for taking a human life while driving a vehicle out of his mind on alcohol. If anything, they should have recalled him and punished him at home for manslaughter. As far as I remember, nothing happened.That made me start looking at what the U.N. stood for, and I started seeing stuff like the 'oil for food' crisis and finding out that one Secretary General was a former Nazi, and another guy was a former spy. I feel really safe having these guys run the world's organization to prevent war and promote peace. There's a new movie coming out called 'You and Me' [sic], which I had some involvement in, and it's basically the 'Fahrenheit 9/11' for the U.N. I think once people see some of the stuff, they're going to be so blown away. Just the trailer that I saw that made me commit to being part of the movie was so unnerving."
That's the movie in a nutshell--unnerving, and capable of blowing you away.
