A short documentary film introducing, explaining, and justifying the Cold War-era propaganda and public diplomacy agency, the US Information Agency (USIA). Through a staged scenario in which the agency's director, Theodore Streibert, meets with a group of citizens curious to see how their tax dollars are put to work, the film shows USIA operations--including film screenings, magazine distribution, libraries, and Voice of America radio--all throughout the world.
