Product Description
"This is the story of how rural America used machines to achieve an unbelievable production - but at a terrible cost to land and to people through the waste of erosion and poverty. Table Of Contents: Disc One: (1) The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) - This film is part of the 1999 National Film Registry of "artistically, culturally, and socially significant" films. It takes a realistic look at how farming in the Midwest turned the land into an uninhabitable cloud of dust, later coined "The Dust Bowl" - 25 minutes (2) Rain For The Earth (Incomplete ~ No Ending) (1937) - Discusses the desperation that the drying land caused the Dust Bowl farmers and their families and the US government's failed attempts to help them maintain their farms - 10 minutes (3) Farmers War Against Dust; Fight To Save Wheat Crops (1937) - Newsreel footage of the farmers struggle against dust in the Midwest - 1 minutes Disc Two: (1) The Land (1930s) - This heart-wrenching documentary tells of the destruction, erosion, and loss of arable soil that led to the ensuing poverty and the dust bowl migration of the 1930s. The Land, focuses on the dire conditions that many of the farming families endured, with scenes of poverty that can only be described as appalling and desperate, included footage of helpless children living in horrific conditions and suffering from malnutrition. Note: This film suffers mildly from flicker - 42 Minutes Disc Three: (1) Save Our Soil (1939) - This short newsreel shows the worsening Dust Bowl conditions in Texas as "the black lizard is turning our great plains region into a desert" - 3 Minutes (2) Work Pays America (1937) - This film documents a variety of public works programs by the Works Progress Administration. The film discusses some of the programs set up to help victims of the Dust Bowl. The film documents Food, housing, and medical assistance from WPA workers. This film suffers from flicker - 35 Minutes
