Search - Sergio Vieira De Mello - En Route to Baghdad on DVD

Great insight into an important life -- we should all know a

H. Carter | New York, NY USA | 01/01/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a wonderful film not just about the diplomatic process, but about one of the world's most important diplomats. We live in time where we all need more understanding, more vision and more honesty. This film is about a man with those qualities. De Mello served as an inspiration for so many and gave us hope that peace was possible. His violent and unnecessary death makes his message more pressing than ever. We should all heed his advice and look for global understanding and connections rather than reasons to isolate ourselves in this complicated world. Bravo to the filmmaker for looking closely and deeply at an important icon that we should all know about. Watch this film, perhaps there is another De Mello to be inspired."

Revealing portrait of a diplomat

Marcelo Ronchini | 05/26/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A must see portrait of a diplomat who was a caring human being first.
De Mello's work in conflict resolution shows his deep emotional commitment
in the process for genuine peace, not just an effort to make the U.N.look good.
A great introduction to the many conflicts this man was working on
around the world.
Also a bleak reminder of how little progress has been made in Iraq.
This film provides a great education into the workings and conflicts the U.N.
get involved in.
