The Great Depression: The Collapse of the American Dream | FULL DOCUMENTARY



1929: The biggest economic crisis of the 20th century brought an abrupt end to the euphoria of the Roaring Twenties. Driven from their land, the farmers of the Great Plains were forced to abandon everything they had. They became migrants in their own country, and were treated as such by the vast Californian estates. They became the symbol of an America confronted by its own reality.
Built on the work of the iconic photographers of the Great Depression – Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and Arthur Rothstein – this full archive documentary analyzes the consequences of the economic collapse in the United States and provides a unique take on the failure of the American model.

  2. And now we're entering the greater depression… The power Elitists are dead set on destroying everything & everyone. And it'll be bad bc most people have had their brains removed in public school. People are dumber than ever. Not everyone, of course.

  3. If this was the pattern then, we are for sure heading to world war III. There is nothing new under the sun. Evil has been here before all us all, and they know exactly how to suppress, oppress, and trim down the population.

  4. America must go back to the values of pre-depression days and expect no welfare and refuse any offered by liberals. No matter how stacked the deck may be against them, they must accept full responsibility for whatever happens to them even if it's not their fault.

  5. Giving babies melted pork fat?😢Poor babies, so many of them never got the chance to live, grow old and have a life. Shame on all of us now who dare to complain about not having enough. We've seen nothing. We dont know what difficult times feel like. We should all be grateful for being born after the WW2 and Great Depression.

  6. Not everyone was poor or affected by the great depression, just as the 2008 financial crisis had no effect upon me personally, but the 1980 recession did impact me. We over look the America that was unaffected during the great depression and focus on the hooverville and the dust bowl. Some people prospered during the 1930's and others were affected but not so much. Life went on.

  7. FDR was a fascist racist monster. I almost need to use the batman meme to explain how wtong you are. Had the hoover years been four more, the same would have happened and the economy would have recovered even before the war. FDR prolonged the depression for political gains. Even completely impoverished states like germany and hungary was on the up by 1934 without a FDR of their own.
