The Global Goals were announced two years ago when Project Everyone began to drive the ambition to create change for good and have the UN and world powers agree to meet them as targets.

The event will take place in New York and is also set to feature global influencers such as Will.I.am, activist Malala Yousafzai and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.

The film 'The Best of Times, Worst of Times' from Vice was inspired by the sentence from Charles Dickens' opening sentence from A Tale of Two Cities and will aim to highlight the advancement in global health and poverty reduction that has taken place around the world to show viewers that they can make a positive difference and evoke change.

Speaking to The Drum, co-founder of Project Everyone, Richard Curtis explained why the organisation chose to work with Vice: "We feel as though they are exactly the people that audiences are going to with their eye on the world and it's problems and it's solutions."

Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, the film also promises that "the best is yet to come" in order to highlight that further change is necessary through the goals that have been set, should they be achieved.
