More specifically, the film presents the policies and programs that made up JFK’s political agenda known as the “New Frontier” and the myriad of legislative proposals he pushed to realize this goal. Among these programs that made up the New Frontier agenda and ushered in the Eras of the New Frontier and Great Society in America was the founding and launch of the Peace Corps program to address global poverty and starvation, work to reverse prejudice and segregation and promote civil rights, as well as the development of the US Space Program.
