Chicago-based Aon's Aon/Albert G. Ruben unit released its 2007 Risks in Global Filmmaking Map today. The annual map measures the threats of crime and corruption, terrorism, kidnap and ransom, disease and substandard medical care.

Calculated on a scale from one to five, the map aggregates these risks and assigns overall ratings. It also identifies those countries that pose significant political risks to filmmaking, such as political violence, instability and civil war.
