- 2 film reels (59 min.) : sd. b&w.; 16 mm.
- Summary
- Rare archival footage conveys the psychological impact of the Great Depression in the U.S. Guided by historians, the filmmakers accumulated revealing images of how America reacted to the loss of its dreams of prosperity and how these dreams were rebuilt. Examples range from the sly wisdom of Henry Ford to the silliness of publicity stunts. Themes of hope and folly as they appeared in newsreels, recordings, advertising and propaganda, tie together in this cultural history.
