Rachel Weisz – Video Animation: How Did the United Nations Get So Big?

This is actually pretty good.

And keep in mind, Weisz is Jewish. Her parents fled interwar Austria to escape the Nazis. She's as good as anyone to narrate a video on the growth of the U.N., despite that institution's flaws.

At the Guardian UK, "How did the UN get so big, asks Rachel Weisz – video animation":

The United Nations began with 51 member states and an annual budget of $19m. Seventy years on the UN has 193 member nations and spends $40bn a year. Actor Rachel Weisz looks back at its history and asks: how did the UN get so big? And – as the UN marks its 70th birthday – has it stayed true to its founding principles of spreading human rights, social progress and upholding international justice?
