The film borrows its name from President Harry Truman's 1949 inaugural address in which he announces a technical assistance program for developing countries that later became known as The Point Four Program. It was so named because it was the fourth foreign policy objective outlined in the speech. The Point Four program resulted in America's partnership with Ethiopia in helping to establish a technical higher-education institution. The film is narrated by the director and features interviews with Americans who were involved in the program in Ethiopia, as well as Ethiopian graduates from the school. Written by Anonymous See less
