About the Film
Citizen Diplomacy includes stories of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s visit to the Roswell Garst farm in Coon Rapids, Iowa, in 1959, the account of the 1960 hog lift that supplied animals to a tsunami-devastated Yamanashi, Japan, the 1985 and 2012 visits of eventual Chinese President Xi Jinping to Iowa, and the ongoing relationships that resulted from these initiatives.
