Play Your Part (ca. 1940s)

This black-and-white World War II promotional film, Play Your Part, was created by the American Red Cross to encourage volunteer support during a time of global crisis. The film highlights the vital role of Red Cross volunteers in disaster relief efforts, including aid during floods, fires, and bombings, as well as support for refugees and displaced persons. With scenes of military aircraft, children affected by migration, and dedicated nurses providing care, the film powerfully conveys the Red Cross’s humanitarian mission. Featuring actress Priscilla Lane, Play Your Part serves as a call to action, underscoring the importance of collective effort and community involvement in times of war and disaster.
