Annette Bening narrates this history of the U.S. government agency, begun by President Kennedy in 1961, that has sent 200,000 Americans to 60+ countries around the world to promote international cooperation. But can a 59-year-old, globalist organization survive this era of budget cuts, rising nationalism, and COVID? “Enlightening and uplifting…Puts a human face on the Peace Corps—and makes sense of its history of idealism, improvisation, politics, and at times, its failings.” –Paul Theroux. Cleveland premiere. 107 min.
