This video chronicles the growth of the American Red Cross through motion pictures. It documents the discovery of old video footage and the process of restoring it to viewable quality through a painstaking process that allows otherwise too damaged or decomposed film to be of us again. The tape itself is a history production that shows authentic and rare footage of the National ARC activities from the beginning of the 1900s through World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, and into the Korean War. ARC promotional films by Shirley Temple and Betty Davis from the 1930s and 1940s are included.
