EMMY AWARD WINNING PLP Documentary: A Passing of the Torch

The University of Michigan commissioned Paul Long Productions to produce an hour-long documentary looking back at the incredible circumstances, coincidences and happenings that marked the first student movement of the 60's and the formation of the Peace Corps.

It started with a short, impromptu speech by candidate John F. Kennedy to 10,000 University of Michigan students at 2:00 in the morning - a speech that challenged the students to pursue more than a career and to serve their country and the world.

Included in the documentary: Bill Moyers, Theodore Sorensen, Harris Wofford, Tom Hayden and the people who were there and made it all happen.
