Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - "The Office" star Rainn Wilson is lending to his voice talents to a new documentary, "The New Recruits," from the creators of the award-winning doc "The Linguists." But the new company Wilson will be narrating for is nothing like Dunder Mifflin.

"The New Recruits" follows a group of business students who think of a new way to end global poverty: charge poor people for basic services. The students hit Kenya, Pakistan, and India to charge people for toilet service and drip irrigation in a movement touted "the alternative to charity."

"We are elated to have Rainn lend his comic sensibility and universally recognizable voice to 'The New Recruits'," said Jeremy Newberger, who along with Seth Kramer and Daniel A. Miller, is one of the three directors of the film. "Viewers will relish engaging 'The New Recruits' with Rainn as storyteller."

"I'm thrilled to be doing narration for the documentary The New Recruits," said Wilson. "It's a fascinating and often hysterical study of the challenges of capitalism in the developing world. Plus, I sound amaaaazing."
