  • A Korean student and a Japanese student who are friends discuss their hopes for peace and understanding in the world after acknowledging the injustices & suffering of World War II.
  • This film from the National Archives was copied as part of a work in progress documentary titled "The World We Wanted." In the autumn of 2021, filmmaker Richard Hall and historian & author Catherine Bishop reunited the surviving participants of two 1959 World Youth Forum panels. Plans are for two half-hour documentary episodes.

  • from Catherine Bishop's website:
"In the aftermath of World War II much attention focused on youth as the answer to world peace. There were mass youth forums organised by both sides of the Cold War divide but there were also two programs focusing on a select group of handpicked teenagers. One, sponsored by the Daily Mail in the UK, lasted only three years, from 1949 to 1951. The other, funded and organised by the New York Herald Tribune in the US for much of its existence, ran between 1947 and 1972. The delegates to the both forums comprise a fascinating network of individuals stretching across the globe, and include academics, diplomats, international business figures and religious leaders, as well as high school teachers, housewives and lawyers. This project will investigate the forums as examples of post-war idealism (or imperialism?), but, more importantly, will construct a history of the forums and of their influence on the later lives of the delegates."
  • As far as we know this film is in the public domain, but the creator cannot be determined at this time.
