A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps

This documentary tells the story of the Peace Corps, a volunteer program that sends Americans to various parts of the world. The aim is to establish a new concept of international relations while giving young people an opportunity to serve the U.S. Today, as sociopolitical factors are rapidly changing, the Peace Corps is trying to strike a balance between maintaining its work and making itself relevant and attuned to the changing times.
