The event, also celebrated Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s many achievements including the Creative Community Outreach Initiative (CCOI), which he established to encourage the global entertainment industry to use their reach and influence to shed light on current issues such as climate change and the sustainable development goals. This marks the first collaboration of its kind between the United Nations and the creative community, whereby the theme is inspired by real-life stories of UN staff in the field. This landmark partnership was celebrated at tonight’s event, attended by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

In Harm’s Way is an event-driven, scripted anthology mini-series created by emerging British filmmaker David Raymond. The returnable series will dramatize true stories of UN staff in the field who are risking their lives to ensure that the Organization fulfills its mandate, with each season focusing on a crisis in a different country. Raymond is also writing the first season, which is set during the UN East Timor crisis in 1999.
