In honor of the Peace Corps' 60th anniversary, we present "A Towering Task."

As the Peace Corps rebuilds with increased nationalistic tendencies in America and around the globe, and with Peace Corps volunteers at the forefront of some of the most pressing themes facing the global community, this film asks: What role should the Peace Corps play in the 21st century?
