Iraq 2003
Those working for the UN
and humanitarian agencies
they opted for the good
and they believe full-heartedly,
with a lot of determination
that victory is possible.
...
On August 19th, 2003 Sergio Vieira de Mello
was one of the 22 killed in an attack to the
United Nations headquarters in Iraq.
...
Before Iraq, Sergio played
key roles in other conflict
ridden countries.

East Timor
A Brazilian in charge of the transition
to independence
it’s like history taking revenge
someone from a former colony,
leading independence
in an ex-Portuguese colony.
...
Maria Lourdes gave birth
during the first year of the UN’s
transition towards independence.
We will follow the development
of her child and the new born
country Sergio helped create.
Cambodia
The picture of this Cambodian
child waiting for repatriation
in 1992
is the best possible reward.
It is an image of joy
after so many years of war and suffering
the possibility of coming home
to one’s culture
and to all of that which
is important to one’s life.
...
Ten years after Sergio
oversaw the repatriation
in Cambodia, we will track
down the refugee
boy
in the picture whom he
considered
a symbol of
hope and happiness.
...
Mozambique
The most important thing
is the quality of Man
- Graça Machel
with a capital M, that lies within us
and that is what Sergio was about
contributing to a greater human dignity.
...
Thirty years after Sergio’s mission
to Mozambique, we will return to the
country he saw emerge to examine
what differences were made and
what challenges still lie ahead.
...
“I could think of no one
we could spare less."
