The first was Invictus, which we watched with Mandela Washington Fellows engaged in leadership training at TTU. The current film documents Costa Rica's approach to improving quality of life by developing educational and social welfare programs since demilitarizing in 1948. The philosophy: the strongest defense is to be defenseless. The impact has been significant on education, healthcare, and other social initiatives.
