The documentary film is the untold story of thousands of American volunteers who lived and trained in Hawaii prior to Peace Corps service, and who often settled there after their life changing overseas experiences. The film tells the story of a unique training program developed from 1962-1972, during a decade of protest and social change. During this time more than 7500, primarily young men and women came to Hilo, Hawaii for months of pre-departure training for Peace Corps service in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Volunteers were trained in language and culture, primarily by immigrants from the host countries in which they would serve, in several remote locations throughout Hawaii that resembled rural village life of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. |
