SUMMARY:docUNight: Unmasking Influence
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a docUNight in UN City Copenhagen featuring the documentary film ‘Unmasking Influence’ to explore how powerful industries influence policy\, science\, and public health. \nThe documentary reveals industry tactics and their human cost. A panel of experts and advocates will connect the film’s themes to alcohol – a leading risk for ill health among people in Europe – and explore solutions to protect health. \nAlcohol consumption causes nearly 800\,000 deaths annually in the WHO European Region\, linked to cancers\, cardiovascular diseases\, and injuries. Despite strong evidence for effective solutions\, industry influence often delays action. We will shed light on the tactics at play\, the human impact\, and the proven policies that can save lives. \nRun time: 55 minutes \nLanguage: English \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION \nPlease bring a valid photo-ID to get through security at UN City and set aside time for the security check prior to the event. \nPlease note that the check-in will open at 16:30 and close at 17:20. It will not be possible to enter UN City after this time. \nPlease DO NOT book tickets under your name for someone else – please reserve each ticket under each person’s name due to the security check upon entry to UN City. \nRefreshments (soft drinks and snacks) will be available for purchase between 16:30–17:30.

It is produced by the Wildfire Collective with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nAbout the World Health Organization (WHO): \nThe World Health Organization (WHO) is the United Nations specialised agency for health.
