About
Ten true stories of hard times and the people who got through them. A reporter caught in the storm that named the Dust Bowl. Teenagers riding the rails. Women carrying library books by mule up Kentucky creeks. A stranger in Canton, Ohio, who answered his neighbors' letters. Veterans driven out of Washington. Farmers bidding a nickel to save a neighbor. Harlem rent parties, the Tree Army, and a boxer who paid back his relief. Researched from archives and oral histories; voices other than the narrator's are dramatized re-creations. A Narratique Studios production.
