First-rate documentary highlighting response of the people to crisis., 5 May 2003
10/10
Author: gwilliams-5 from Trenton, NJ

This is a first-rate documentary highlighting response of the people to crisis. Includes attention to unemployed,labor and farmer militancy, the "EPIC" campaign in California. By the producers of the better-know "Eyes on the Prize" series on the Civil Rights Movement. Especially important now, as the Right tries to dismantle every aspect of the New Deal and progressivism.
