Dust Bowl - A 1950s Documentary
This "newsreel" like documentary chronicles the Dustbowl with interviews from people (primary sources) who lived through the "dirty thirties." The images linger well after the film ends. An excellent resource to use when studying the Depression era or the "Grapes of Wrath," by John Steinbeck. The film was created as part of "The Twentieth Century" CBS series in the early 1950s with the renown Walter Cronkrite narrating the "text-film."
