Interesting it was in 1965, around the time of the Cultural Revolution in China which forced masses of non-working class people to leave the cities and work on farms.

(I'm not certain of the exact timing of the farm labor program in China.)

Similar, except the teenagers were allowed to quit.
I didn't mean to say it was too similar - the US participants weren't participating forced labor as punishment for their economic class, lasting years, by a violent political movement.
