Having had the opportunity to speak with Charlie Wilson a couple of years after the Tom Hanks movie was released, I understand the movie is largely a documentary and only a few of the scenes are there for the benefit of the movie goers.
If you remember the movie (or take some time to watch it again) Congressman Wilson's plea for funds for education, shown almost at the end of the movie and rejected by his peers, may well have been a game changer.
Too late now: the teaching medium will be Mandarin. .
