Forest Whitaker's UN mission
Oscar-winning actor, producer and director Forest Whitaker is a UNESCO Special Envoy for peace and reconciliation and in that capacity talks about projects in Uganda and South Sudan, as well as in some US schools. He's in New York for the UN General Assembly, where the organisation has announced its new Sustainable Development Goals. He tells us about one of those 17 sustainable development goals - the one which affects his work the most - number 16 to be precise.
