Kennedy gave Americans a new way to serve their country: the Peace Corps. In its 60-year history, 200,000+ volunteers have traveled to more than 140 countries to carry out the organization's mission of world peace and friendship a towering task, indeed. Through interviews with Corps volunteers, Heads-of-State, scholars, journalists, and host country nationals, the film explores how this uniquely American government agency has attempted to answer Kennedy's call: "My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." 610 20 $a Peace Corps (U.S.) $x History. 655 7 $a Documentary films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nonfiction films. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Carter, Jimmy, $d 1924- $e onscreen participant. 700 1 $a DeJoseph, Alana, $e film director. 700 1 $a Johnson-Sirleaf, Ellen, $d 1938- $e onscreen participant. 700 1 $a Coyne, John, $e onscreen participant. 710 2 $a First-Run Features (Firm), $e publisher. 710 2 $a Kino Lorber, Inc., $e film distributor. 941 $a 2 945 $a dvv 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20240305011326.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C1205DAAC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
