Smile 'Til It Hurts: The Up With People Story (2009)
Synopsis
Archival footage, photos, news clips, and interviews combine to offer a comprehensive overview of the clean-cut, buttoned-down singing youth group that attempted to chance the world in the riotous 1960s. A true cultural phenomenon, Up with People performed in forty-seven languages to a global audience that included popes, kings; they even performed at the Super Bowl half-time show. As former members offer heartfelt reflections on their time with Up for People and what the group really mean to them, personally, the viewer is presented with a thought-provoking glimpse into the cultural underbelly of politics, cults, and money.
