This film is part of IDA's DocuWeeks '09.

"Smile 'Til It Hurts: The Up With People Story" explores the clean-cut, smile-drenched singing phenomenon Up With People. The group was born in response to the counter-culture of the '60s, spun from the controversial maneuverings of a religious sect called Moral Re-Armament, backed by millions of corporate dollars, and launched around the globe to exemplify conservative American values. Told by former Uppies whose compelling stories take us on an intimate journey, the film reveals what happens when ideology, money and groupthink converge to co-opt youthful idealism.
