BROADWAY ACTOR INTERRUPTS THE UNITED NATIONS TO DEMAND THE END OF WAR & ABUSES OF HUMAN RIGHTS
That was the news of the time when Garry Davis, a Song and Dance man, leapt off the Broadway stage onto the World Stage in 1948.
Garry Davis, a song-and-dance man on Broadway, walked away from stardom and stormed the United Nations General Assembly to demand a People's World Assembly capable of outlawing war and protecting every human being on Earth. The delegates applauded!
Albert Einstein said that Garry grasped the key to whether humankind will die by its own hand or continue to exist!
Five years ago it played on PBS stations coast to coast -- eliciting hundreds of excited viewer comments like these:
We were invited to re-broadcast on PBS stations this year -- at a time when millions of people are frustrated with the old system and looking for something new!
People who helped sponsor the last broadcast have jumped in to sponsor it again. You can help too! We need funds for a specialist who has connections with station managers to encourage them to broadcast it in their city. Funds are also needed for social media promotion to attract viewers far and wide.
Watch Martin Sheen's 30 second promo for THE WORLD IS MY COUNTRY:
Your support of this broadcast will be a triple win for:
-- Local Public Broadcasting Stations who need good shows now that they have lost CPB national programing.
-- Our sponsors like Rotarians and Empathy Surplus looking to promote their services and invite more members.
-- For People everywhere -- who need a way we can come together across the divides and unite around the reality that we are one world!
Watch the film now and consider promoting it when it comes to your PBS station.
Former Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta said:
"I was absolutely bowled over by Garry Davis in that movie that you showed -- I loved it! Absolutely. It was great. And I always think when you have such crazy thoughts, people will first laugh at you. And when they laugh at you, you can be sure you are on the right path."
Take a look at the Salute to Rotary spot in the first couple of minutes of the film:
Shekhar encouraged our "Salute to Rotary" before the film, obtained Rotary International’s approval and said “Go, spread the good word of Rotary." *
Over the course of a year, 58% of all U.S. households and 130 million people watch Public Broadcasting -- reaching a very diverse audience. Additionally PBS now reaches millions more through digital and educational platforms.
Donate now to spread the word to millions of people.
Remember, your donation is an investment in imagining and creating the future we want for all of us on Planet Earth!

It’s a great opportunity and we appreciate the use of our People of Action materials, website images, etc. all of which are cleared to use."
