The foreign-affairs series returns.
In February the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, made a crucial visit to Iraq as a second Gulf War was becoming a possibility. His diplomatic success in these negotiations afforded him star treatment from the media. This film observes the tense atmosphere in Baghdad as the talks unfolded, and follows Annan on trips to Rwanda, where he struggled to absolve the UN of responsibility for the genocide, and to Nigeria, where he attempted to have former opposition leader Chief Abiola released from jail. The series continues next month.
