In the 1960s, the United States Information Service (USIS) mobile film units travelled around the northeast region of Thailand showing their self-produced propaganda films to rural audiences as a part of a psychological operation. The Community Development Worker, one of their most well-received works, was also filmed in a province in that same region.
«The sequences of the film The Community Development Worker were projected onto the different kinds of surfaces in the modern-day locations where the filming and screening took place back in the 60s.»
