It's a ten minute biopic of Clara Barton who founded the American Red Cross. During the Civil War, Clara decides to leave the comforts of home for the blood-soaked war frontlines. At first, she is ostracized by the social class and dismissed by the military. Women have no place in a war. They are too delicate. She charges ahead anyways. When the International Red Cross is founded, the US is the last country not signed on. Clara had hopes for newly elected president James Garfield. He was a general during the war and had worked with her. Her hopes are dashed when he gets assassinated.
I'm sure that this subject could be a compelling full length movie. It's old fashion with an old fashion narration. It's melodramatic but sometimes, it's worth the treatment. All in all, it's informative and somewhat touching.
