THE DUST BOWL: A Film By Ken Burns ~ Airing November 18 & 19 on PBS
On November 18 and 19 (Sunday/Monday), PBS stations will be premiering THE DUST BOWL: A Film By Ken Burns. You can learn more about this four-hour documentary, view film clips, and check your local listings for air times at PBS's "The Dust Bowl" website. The film will be shown in two parts over two nights: "The Great Plow Up" and "Reaping the Whirlwind." If you miss the film on those dates, it looks like it'll be repeated.
In this documentary, children/teenagers who lived in the affected areas during those years and one adult survivor are interviewed. There is footage of everyday life during that time, which really brings home just how devastating the drought/dust storms were during that decade. The Dust Bowl/Great Depression years were such a difficult period in our nation's history; it’s important to remember, so history will not repeat. Here's a synopsis of the movie: Quote:
