"Poster Child" outlines Rapp's drive to be perfect, and how that pressure affected her personal relationships and self-image.
Rapp graduated from St. Olaf College in Northfield, and eventually won a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Korea.
The opening scene of "Poster Child" details her first day in Korea dealing with the hot, humid weather. She spoke with MPR's Greta Cunningham.
