The World We Wanted
24 min. | Closed Captioned
A film by Richard Hall
In the aftermath of World War II, much attention focused on youth as the answer to world peace. There were mass youth forums organized by both sides of the Cold War divide, but there were also two programs focusing on a select group of handpicked teenagers.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Daily Mail and the New York Herald Tribune gathered several dozen bright teenagers from around the globe to learn about America. They also discussed religion, prejudice, colonialism, women's rights, and world peace on television. Now, 62 years after their 1959 TV broadcast, The World We Wanted reunites some of these students to explore how their perspectives on these critical topics have changed over time.

The delegates to both forums comprised a fascinating network of individuals stretching across the globe who would later go on to be academics, diplomats, international business figures and religious leaders, as well as high school teachers, housewives and lawyers.
With a companion book by Catherine Bishop launching this Fall, The World We Wanted, from Nerds Make Media, is now streaming exclusively on Docuseek for education.
