International icons have joined hands with the United Nations to extend their support to Global Goals campaign -- a unique opportunity giving everyone a chance to share screen space with their favourite celebrity.

The campaign, which will kick start on September 25, has launched a crowd-funded film We The People. This one-of-a-kind film is said to be the world's biggest film as everyone around the globe is invited to star alongside big names from different industries.

According to the Global Goal website, Hollywood A-listers Ashton Kutcher, Cate Blanchett, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Robert Pattinson are among many other celebrities who have endorsed the campaign.

The promo of the upcoming film features young people who highlight how the world has united to "create a blue print for the future".

The purpose of this film is to make 193 world leaders turn words into actions and the aim of these young people is to "create a world where hope is something you can reach out and touch".

Here's the promo:


Among these 17 goals, One Direction has endorsed No Hunger. Hrithik Roshan promises Good Health. Malala Yousufzai will support Quality Education. Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Lawrence will vouch for Gender Equality. Stephen Hawking says Innovation and Infrastructure will make our lives better and Meryl Streep will help protect and restore the Life Below Water.

Apart from Hollywood and Bollywood actors, Bill and Melinda Gates, UN Messenger of Peace Lang Lang, UNDP Champion Michelle Yeoh, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan and Stephen Hawking too have endorsed the project.

Bollywood stars Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and AR Rehman are also a part of the campaign and will feature in the film that will be screened at the Global Citizen Festival in New York on September 26.

All you have to do is, read the lines, film yourself and upload the footage. The entries will be edited and the video will feature as many different faces and voices as possible. For details, check out the Global Goal website.
