Event Description

IMPORTANT INFO! If you are going to register for multiple tickets, please list each individual person that will be coming.  For security purposes, we need to have a full list of the names of our guests, especially those without UN ID badges.  Anyone who does not have a UN badge and is not on our guest list MAY NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE UN.

Please enter via the glass security checkpoint on 47th street and 1st avenue, New York, NY, United States

The event will start promptly at 6:30 PM, but please arrive 
AT LEAST 20 minutes early to insure time to get through UN Security.  Before the film will be a short address by Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Liberian Activist, Leymah Gbowee, and after the film there will be a brief Q&A Session.

Please join us for refreshments after the screening at Keats Restaurant at 
842 2nd Ave between 44th and 45th.

We Stand Alone is a documentary film about the Liberian national amputee soccer team.  It tells the story of their quest to win the 2011 African Amputee Cup of Nations and the heroic men who are determined to play beautiful, exciting soccer despite the fact that they are primarily single-leg amputees.

These men are an inspiration to all because they have done so much with so little.  We are very proud and humbled that the film has been selected to screen at United Nations Headquarters in conjunction with International Persons with Disabilities Day.  So please come and join us, to celebrate these heroes and help promote the equality of all people.


Thank You,
Aubrey Lethbridge, Evan Neuwirth, & Alan Thompson
