David spoke at the 2008 United Nations global anti-corruption conference in Bali, Indonesia.
CNN anchorman Jim Clancy led the special panel on "Artists for Integrity," exploring the need to fight corruption as a shared responsibility among governments, businesses and individuals. The panel also included film director Terry George (Hotel Rwanda), actress Famke Janssen (X-Men) and musicians Eric Wainaina and Cesar Lopez.
As part of a broad and novel approach to raising awareness of global corruption, members of the literature, film and journalism communities were asked to attend so that they might meet representatives of various anti-corruption organizations, hear their stories and explore how the arts can engage worldwide audiences in the fight against corruption.
More than 1,000 participants attended the conference where Famke Janssen was appointed UNODC Goodwill Ambassador for Integrity.
