"I fell in love with this guy," says Martin Sheen who introduces Garry Davis in the film. "He was an actor, Danny Kaye's understudy, who leapt off the Broadway stage, onto the world stage in 1948, taking on cops, border guards, armies and whole nations - showing us how we can build a world that is constructive for all and destructive to none." Dubbed by the press as "World Citizen #1" in 1948, Garry spent 65 years of his life as a citizen of no nation, only Earth - traveling the planet on his "World Passport" and using his thespian skills to engage in adventures so unique that his life made a front-page headline story in the New York Times and provoked major stories in The Washington Post, The LA Times and other media around the globe. Hailed by Albert Einstein for "the sacrifices he has made for the well-being of humanity," extolled by Buckminster Fuller as the "New World Man," and egged on by Eleanor Roosevelt to start "a worldwide international government," Garry Davis was a pioneering thinker, an author of 10 books, andfounder of the World Service Authority - an organization in Washington, D. C. that issues World Passports to stateless refugees and to people who think global - above the nation-states that carve up our one globe.
