Narrated by Peter Coyote.
Ken Burns documents 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, dramatic photographs, and seldom-seen movie footage bring to life incredible stories of human suffering and perseverance. Includes bonus features.
DVD, widescreen, described video.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

slow submitted by Jackie77 on August 22, 2015, 10:13pm Slow and dragged on and on. Way too much unneccesary information. Seemed mote like a personal story a out a family than a huge problem concerning many people. I could only watch the first disc.
