Samantha Smith’s Final Flight |The 13-Year-Old Who Tried to Stop a Nuclear War

In the early 1980s, as the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war, history was changed not by a president, but by a 10-year-old girl from Maine. Her name was Samantha Smith. With a simple, heartfelt letter to Soviet leader Yuri Andropov, she asked the one question on everyone's mind: ""Are you going to have a war or not?"" What followed was an unbelievable chain of events that pierced the Iron Curtain, transformed a schoolgirl into a global symbol of peace, and captured the world's imagination. This is the incredible, and ultimately tragic, true story of the ""World's Youngest Ambassador""—a bright light of hope that was extinguished far too soon. #SamanthaSmith#ColdWar#TrueStory#Documentary#History#1980s#SovietUnion#Peace#UntoldHistory#CitizenDiplomacy
