Date: 2020

Description: This filmscript describes many events in the two-year Peace Corps service of volunteer Kenny Karem in Chile, working in agriculture, education and forestry. It focuses on his relationships with Chilean friends, co-workers, Mapuche Indians and campesino farmers. It details actual events, cultural happenings, fiestas, cross-cultural snafus, the challenges of adapting to a foreign culture and the tremendous impact politics in Chile had on a volunteer’s service.
