London, UK (May 01, 2007) - UKMN, a creative group, has been commissioned to create an identity and advertising campaign for new film, War on Democracy. The film is legendary documentary maker John Pilger’s first feature length cinema project, and is due for international release in June 2007. It will be distributed by Lionsgate and previewed at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

UKMN will be working with the Lionsgate in the lead up to the film’s launch – a landmark stage in John Pilger’s career. The world-renowned journalist spent two years making the film, which is co-directed by Chris Martin, and will officially premiere on 11th May at the National Film Theatre, London.

UKMN has provided an identity for the film and designed the outdoor advertising campaign ahead of its release. The company is also designing and developing a promotional website where people can view the film trailer, access information about the issues explored in the film, and search for venues where it is being screened.

Lewis D. Rowe, creative partner at UKMN, said: “Obviously, the film addresses some very current global issues about democracy and the war on terror. We wanted to create a thought provoking identity to support the sensitive questions that are raised in this very advanced piece of journalism.”

The film is already receiving acclaim, with some critics hinting that the writer has lived up to his reputation for making thought provoking and often controversial work. John Pilger commented: "The film allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called war on terror. It tells a universal story – analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths.”
