PART 2 – This film chronicles the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history, when a frenzied wheat boom on the southern Plains, followed by a decade-long drought during the 1930s, nearly swept away the breadbasket of the nation. Vivid interviews with more than two dozen survivors of those hard times, combined with dramatic photos and seldom seen movie footage, bring to life stories of incredible human suffering and equally incredible human perseverance.
