This Is The United Nations

Between 1950 and 1951, with red scare building around him, Hurwitz was hired by the United Nations Film Unit to make documentaries about the work of the newly-formed United Nations. He made 8 films. Finally, visits from the FBI asking questions about him moved the UN Secretariat to terminate his employment.
