Polio, a virus that affected mainly children during the summer months, gripped the nation with fear and left many in a dreaded "iron lung." By examining how the nation pulled together to overcome polio, this documentary is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.

This program is in partnership with Rotary Club of Northbrook.
