T1 EP.1 – Episode 1: The Great Plow Up
17 de novembro de 20121 h 51 minIn the early 20th century, homesteaders converge on the southern Plains, where wet years, rising wheat prices and World War I produce a classic boom. Then, in 1931, a decade-long drought begins, exacerbated by the Great Depression.

18 de novembro de 20121 h 52 minThe crucible of dust, drought and Depression intensifies. Many people on the southern Plains give up and join a “migration of the defeated” to California. There they are branded as “Okies” and face vicious discrimination. Survivors recount their families’ desperate times, their joy at the rains’ return, and the lessons learned—and sometimes forgotten—from the Dust Bowl.Período de teste gratuito do canal Documentários do PBS ou comprar
