KERA TV presents
WAGING PEACE: The Peace Corps Experience
a film by Allen Mondell (Sierra Leone 1963-65), a Media Projects, Inc. production
“We wanted to make a difference and change the world. And the world changed us.”
— Allen Mondell

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy asked a generation of Americans to volunteer and make a difference on a global scale. Since then, more than 200,000 volunteers have answered his call.
WAGING PEACE: The Peace Corps Experience weaves personal letters, journals, emails and blogs written by Peace Corps Volunteers with profiles of four returned volunteers showing the enduring impact of these experiences on their own lives and the lives of others.
“I’ve recounted our stories that capture the seemingly insurmountable challenges of ordinary Americans who were willing to endure vast cultural isolation, poverty, suspicion and, at times, antagonism–all in the hopes of making a small difference.” — Allen Mondell
Celebrating the power of volunteerism and cross-cultural understanding.

Is there no schedule for when and where this documentary will be shown???
This information was posted in an earlier article, here, about Peace Corps documentaries. I believe KERA is the PBS station in Dallas, Texas. We would welcome more information on other screenings.
“Waging Peace: The Peace Corps Experience” will air at 10 p.m. Nov. 28 on PBS affiliate KERA.
At the moment the film is only airing on KERA, the public tv station in Dallas. If you have any suggestions/contacts at PBS stations in your hometown or elsewhere, please let me know. You can reach me at allen@mediaprojects.org or 214-826-3863. Allen Mondell
