Created in 1951, "Crusade in the Pacific" was an early television documentary that remains one of the most comprehensive looks at the Pacific Campaign on land, sea and air. In 26 separate 30 minute episodes, "Crusade" journals the War through tons and tons of basically uncensored stock footage, along with the timeless voice of Westbrook Van Voorhis. 

In this episode, "The Future: Asia and the United States", Crusade in the Pacific considers the future of relations between the United States and Asia. It examines the religions of the East including Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism and also looks at the history of U.S. involvement in Asia. It also examines the value of U.S. assistance in Asia and efforts to curtail the growth of communism there. It also speaks to specialists from Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, India and U.S. diplomat John Foster Dulles.
