United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon presented the film to the General Assembly in New York on 13 September 2012. He quoted Desmond Tutu, who said, “Forgiving is not forgetting. It is actually remembering and not using your right to hit back.”

Two commentators in the film also spoke during the session: Lord John Alderdice, Chairman of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, and Marina Cantacuzino, founder and director of The Forgiveness Project. After this screening, the United Nations adopted a resolution titled “Strengthening the Role of Mediation and the Peaceful Settlement of Disputes, Conflict Prevention and Resolution” (A/RES/66/291).
