In the summer of 1967, the North Carolina Fund and WAMY Community Action financed a rural water project in the Avery County settlement known as Blevins Creek. Until that time, local residents had walked miles each day to fetch water in buckets from a nearby spring. Sargent Shriver, director of the federal Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), and evangelist Billy Graham visited Blevins Creek for the project's dedication ceremony. OEO documented the event in this film.
