The Ichikowitz Family Foundation has announced that one of its award winning documentaries, Plot for Peace screens on 26 May to audiences of UN ambassadors, stakeholders and invited members of the public, in celebration of all efforts made by African leaders to secure peace in Southern Africa during the late 1980s.

The United Nations screening is a historic event given that the ambassadors from the countries involved in the signing of the 1988 Brazzaville Protocol will be present: Angola, Cuba, South Africa, Mozambique and the Republic of Congo.

“What has made the documentary work well is that it shows another way of brokering peace. And it shows that, at the end of the day, what happens on an official level is not always what is going on behind the scenes,” says Jean-Yves Ollivier. “Many hope that the work of ‘Monsieur Jacques’ will serve as a blueprint for future peace deals in Africa and beyond, as Euronews correspondent, Stefan Grobe, explained. Watch the Euronews interview with Jean-Yves Ollivier, Pierre Oba, Minister of Mining for the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angolan Ambassadors to the UN, Ismael Gaspar Martins during the private cocktail reception before the film’s screening HERE.

To celebrate the United Nations World Africa Week and Africa Day (May 25th), Plot for Peace will be screening at the United Nations on May 26th, 2015 with Jean-Yves Ollivier and esteemed guests in attendance.

This historic event will commemorate the significant role the UN played in securing peace and stability in South Africa in the 1980s and celebrates the integral role many UN ambassadors played in achieving this.

A Q&A with Jean-Yves Ollivier will follow this very special screening in front of many of those involved in the signing of the Brazzaville Protocol Agreement (1988) and the UN Tripartite Agreement (1988), both of which marked an end to the wars within the Frontline States ultimately leading to South Africa’s peaceful transition to democracy.

The Ichikowitz Family Foundation is honoured that PLOT FOR PEACE will now form part of the United Nations historic record and archive. Ivor Ichikowitz, Chairman of the Foundation states, “Such commemorations reinforce the critical role of the United Nations and allow us all to explore how we may practically advance towards greater peace and prosperity across the globe.”

FILM-FORWARD REVIEW – Oct 31st, 2014

The film describes the untold, backroom role that Algerian-born French businessman Jean-Yves Ollivier played in the sensitive negotiations between hostile countries bordering South Africa and the distrustful factions within. … [It] excels in showing how the struggle to free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid played out around some of the highest tensions of the latter days of the Cold War. “
