Martin Sheen introduces the daring, controversial and decades-ahead-of-his-time World Citizen #1, Garry Davis -- a song and dance man from the golden age of Broadway who ignited a movement that culminated in 1948 when the United Nations unanimously passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His amazing story - with Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Camus, John Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and more -- would be unbelievable were not every step documented by archival footage. In his final performance, at age 91, Garry presents a unique and practical vision for how, as world citizens, we can now fix our world. Albert Einstein said Garry “grasps the key to whether humanity “will disappear by its own hand or continue to exist.” Film image, synopsis and related credits courtesy of Future WAVE and Corbis.
