Human Rights advocates call for the creation of a "human rights culture" to promote freedom, equality, and coexistence throughout the world. This historic program examines three initiatives which seek to break down the barriers of segregation, misunderstanding, and conflict. It begins with an excerpt from the film A Leap of Faith, which profiles the Cranmore School in Northern Ireland, where children of Protestant and Catholic parents attend integrated classes in an effort to break down traditional barriers of hatred and conflict. Next, viewers see portions of a work-in-progress about the "Seas of Peace Summer Camp," where young adults from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt work and play together, develop listening skills, and begin to share problems. The program ends with Charlayne Hunter-Gault's in-depth interview of former Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who talks of the efforts of the "Truth Commission" in South Africa, and of the need to acknowledge the truth about the atrocities of Apartheid as a prerequisite to the unification of the peoples of South Africa. A dream he saw come true with the end of Apartheid in 1994, the first democratic elections were held in South Africa
