RPCVs in Akron, Ohio host movie by Alana DeJoseph (Mali) — A TOWERING TASK
Jun 07 2023
NORVA hosts free screening of Peace Corps documentary
Akron Beacon Journal
What does “global citizenship” really mean? Since 1961, more than 200,00 American volunteers have collaborated directly with everyday people around the globe in the name of peace. Follow their story in “A Towering Task,” an award-winning documentary on the history of the Peace Corps. The Northern Ohio Returned Volunteer Association presents a free screening at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 17, at the main branch of the Akron-Summit County Public Library, 60 S. High St., downtown Akron.
Narrated by Annette Benning, the film chronicles the political machinations that led to an entirely new government agency during the height of the Cold War. It shows how idealistic American volunteers, past and present, work side-by-side with host country nationals to transform U.S. global relations.
“A Towering Task puts a human face on the Peace Corps and makes sense of its history of idealism, improvisation, politics, and at times its failings, “ says novelist Paul Theroux. “It is the most coherent and satisfying documentary I know of the Peace Corps, and I can’t imagine a better one.”
A short Q&A session with a multi-generational panel of returned Peace Corps volunteers will follow the film.
Admission is free, but registration is required at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-towering-task-a-northern-ohio-returned-peace-corps-volunteer-event-tickets-636785270887.

NCTC Conservation Lecture Series: A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps
On Monday, May 1st at 7:00 PM ET, Filmmaker Alana DeJoseph will screen her film "A Towing Task: The Story of the Peace Corps" at the National Conservation Training Center, Byrd Auditorium, 698 Conservation Way, Shepherdstown, WV.
Narrated by Annette Bening, A Towering Task tells the remarkable story of the Peace Corps and takes viewers on a journey of what it means to be a global citizen. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy gave Americans the opportunity to serve their country in a new way by forming the Peace Corps. Since then, more than 200,000 Volunteers have traveled to more than 140 countries to carry out the organization's mission of international cooperation. Nearly 60 years later, Americans - young and old alike - still want to serve their country and understand their place in the world; current volunteers work at the forefront of some of the most pressing issues facing the global community. Yet the agency has struggled to remain relevant amid sociopolitical change. More than once it had to fight for its very existence, and now - between pandemics, climate change, and a rise in nationalist sentiment - the Peace Corps is again confronting a crisis of identity: What role should it play around the world and in the lives of engaged citizens?
From 1992 to 1994 Peace Corps Volunteer Alana DeJoseph was an enterprise development advisor in a small town in Mali, West Africa. Being a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and a Filmmaker, she understood that as walls are being built and nations are turning inward, a comprehensive documentary of this globally engaged American government agency was urgently needed.
Alana says: “In a time when the American public either has a very antiquated notion of the Peace Corps, informed by an almost mythological awe of the 60s, or is not even aware that the agency still exists, it is high time to bring this unique organization back into the public discourse, to raise the level of the discussion from quaint to crucial.”
Alana has worked in video and film production for over 40 years. She began her career as a 10-year-old actress. Since then, she has worn many hats as producer, director, videographer, and editor, but her heart has always been in documentaries. Between 2003 and 2013, she was associate producer of the PBS documentaries The Greatest Good (about the U.S. Forest Service) and Green Fire (about conservationist Aldo Leopold).
In 2013 Alana began working on the first feature documentary about the history of the Peace Corps: A Towering Task. On September 22nd, 2019 the film premiered to a full house at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. In December 2020 she won the Best Director award in the feature documentary category at the Indo Global International Film Festival in Mumbai. The film has screened at 11 film festivals and won numerous awards.
These talks are a part of the NCTC Conservation Lecture Series, which is cosponsored by The Friends of the NCTC - http://www.friendsofnctc.org . No tickets or reservations are required.
All are welcome!

DePaul University Screening and Discussion
A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps Film Screening & Discussion
A Towering Task is an independent documentary produced and directed by Alana DeJoseph, a returned Peace Corps volunteer and documentary filmmaker. She has been a member of the production teams that produced The Greatest Good: A Forest Service Centennial Film and Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for our Time. She works alongside Dave Steinke (film producer, cameraman and former Forest Service public affairs director) and Shana Kelly (screenwriter and book editor). All three strongly believe in the urgent need for an objective, in-depth look at the history and future of the Peace Corps.
Founded during the Cold War, the Peace Corps stands as an icon of American idealism. From the beginning its mission of world peace and friendship proved to be a towering task. Imbued with the unbounded energy and vision of its charismatic leader, Sargent Shriver, and thousands of vigorous volunteers, the story of the Peace Corps is a uniquely American tale. From the political machinations to establish not just a brand new government agency, but a new concept in international relations, to the growing pains of an agency striving to define its mission. A Towering Task takes viewers on a journey of what it means to be a global citizen.
Host country nationals, Peace Corps Volunteers and staff, and scholars and journalists take a closer look at peace building, economic development and political independence through the Peace Corps’ nearly six decades of trials and transformations. Before being evacuated because of the pandemic, Peace Corps volunteers were serving in over 60 countries and more than 200,000 have returned since 1961, but America is reevaluating how to engage with the rest of the world.
Now, as the Peace Corps rebuilds with increased nationalistic tendencies in America and around the globe, and Peace Corps Volunteers at the forefront of some of the most pressing themes facing the global community, A Towering Task asks: What role should the Peace Corps play in the 21st century? We invite you to view the film and share your thoughts at this free screening and discussion hosted by DePaul University's School of Public Service.

This captivating event and panel discussion will focus on the experiences and insights of returned Peace Corps volunteers spanning six decades from the present back to the organization’s founding years, during which Ohio State contributed to the Peace Corps’ initial training and recruitment operations. In that spirit, the organization will be joined by Glenn Blumhorst, president and CEO of the National Peace Corps Association, to honor:
Stephan L. Honoré – the first Ohio State student to be accepted into the Peace Corps; also the first Ohioan, first African-American, and one of the first 27 Peace Corps invitees in the United States
in mid-June 1961.Representatives of India I – the first cohort of Peace Corps volunteers to serve in India, originally trained at Ohio State.
This reflection on the Peace Corps’ history and impact comes at an exciting time for the organization as it resumes invitations for new volunteers to serve abroad after a two-year hiatus in the wake of the pandemic.
Both events include light refreshments and are free to attend. Additional program details will be available at https://ipa.osu.edu/peace-corps.

The Peace Corps at 60 and Beyond: A Towering Task Screening & Discussion
When: Thursday, March 4, 7–8 p.m. ET
Where: Streaming online
Category: Narrative Session
Accessibility: ASL interpretation, real-time captioning available
Since March 1, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy signed the executive order to establish the Peace Corps, more than 240,000 Americans have served in 141 countries. Now sixty years later, the Peace Corps is at a critical crossroads. Facing the coronavirus pandemic, the agency evacuated all volunteers in March 2020 and is just now restarting operations in some countries. This pivotal moment allows us to look back on sixty years of promoting world peace and friendship, while also looking forward to the next chapter of Peace Corps history.
The Smithsonian Folklife Festival began in 1967, not long after the Peace Corps, with many similar goals—especially to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of world cultures. In 2011, the Folklife Festival commemorated the agency’s fiftieth anniversary with a program that featured Peace Corps volunteers and their partners from sixteen countries.
In 2021, the Festival once more explores the agency’s significance and impact through a panel discussion and a screening of the 2019 documentary film A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps. Join us for the discussion with Returned Peace Corps Volunteers Rayna Green, Rahama Wright, and the film’s director, Alana DeJoseph, on March 4 at 7 p.m. ET.
We offer two ways you can watch the film:
Register on Eventbrite to receive a link to watch at your convenience between Monday, March 1, at 5 p.m. ET through Thursday, March 4, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

About the Participants
From 1992 to 1994, Peace Corps Volunteer Alana DeJoseph was an enterprise development advisor in a small town in Mali, West Africa. Being a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, she understood that as walls are being built and nations are turning inward, while at the same time global problems like climate change and pandemics are demanding global solutions, a comprehensive documentary of this internationally engaged American agency was urgently needed.
Prior to her retirement in 2014, Rayna Green was senior curator and director of the American Indian Program at the National Museum of American History. With a PhD in folklore and American studies from Indiana University, she served on university faculties, in public service institutions, and on nonprofit boards prior to her thirty-five years at the Smithsonian.
