e are definitely living in a high-
tech era where everything seems
possible, both in a real and virtual
world, through Media and Social Media. But
are we allowed to keep the real human values?
Aren’t we subjected to the big risk of losing the
true understanding of life? On these premises,
the producer and actor Manuel Collas de la
Roche founded, three years ago, the sustain-
able movement Monaco Better World Forum
(MBWF) aimed at re-humanising the World by
inspiring an inner reflection on social and en-
vironmental key issues into the public, through
one of the most effective tool Man has ever
created: Cinema. Film industry, in fact, can re-
ally push a social change as already testified
by the Cinéma Vérité Festival directed in Ge-
neva (Switzerland) by Collas de la Roche with
the support of well-known actors and world
leaders such as Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon,
Jane Fonda, the Queen Noor of Jordan and the
Nobel Peace Prize Wangari Maathai.
