Born in 1949 I was surrounded by persons who lived through the depression in somewhat rural Southeastern US. Every family had gardens and everyone canned foods. I remember in the mid 50's visiting family that had a hand pump in the kitchen as the only modern convenience. My Mom was a great cook but seldom did she cook potatoes because she said them and eggs where they often the only thing to eat in her home. Her Dad died from pneumonia in 1928 and her Mom's income was from washing, ironing, and sewing through the depression and beyond. My Maternal Grandmother may not have had the toughest life but it sure wasn't a picnic.

The point of these documentaries coming back up as relevant today is because we need to be very mindful of the facts that we are dangerously close to this same exact path.

Both my parents grew up during the Depression. It was definitely hard times. Thanks for sharing.

Very well done! Great presentation.! Everyone should watch this. I hated history class in school. As I have aged, I realize the importance and magnitude of knowledge of the past. Thank you for sharing.

@rickalpers8696
Brilliant presentation. Wow, 270K negatives by you and your team. This documented an important era of American history.

My father and mother got married during the depression, they live on a farm and when we moved to the city, my father never used a bank, bc of all the money that people lost during those years..
@josephmackela8466
I love how this is narrated. Sounds like first hand experience instead of historians telling about it and having to see them tell about it.

@SlyCircle
😢Sad that we haven't learned enough to stop a depression from happening again because of hate & greed... yet here we are (again).

My daddy went through the depression it was tough. It is the greatest generation. He worked at the CC camp in the California Sierras.
@analogman9697
Best doc of this period I've seen. My Dad was born in 1929 into urban poverty, and my Mom was born to sharecroppers in 1931.

I love watching videos on the Great Depression. It’s like watching a documentary explaining the future. I love noting the remarkable parallels with current times and rubbing my hands at the opportunities ahead, including the crash itself. I wonder, at times, if it’s all manipulated. If the same economic cycles are played out, over and over; preying on human emotion and recycled, to the benefit of a wealthy few. There are three people in life: The ones who make things happen, the ones who watch what happens and the ones who wonder what happened. Which one are you? 👀
@sn4rff
a really interesting watch, thanks for this.

This is the roots of the crisis we have globally

I am 80 also and same my grandparents in canada prairies hit by dustbowl leading old ford 1/2 bed and left prairies with three teen age girls and drove to western canada. this is a good documentary, very real to many of us still unfortunately not to the younger and they forget how we got to that
@theresekirkpatrick3337
Many didn’t notice because they already had nothing and grew what they ate or bartered. Its coming back I don’t believe the percent the department of labor and statistics says. Unemployment and my inflation is 50-200 percent across the board. Working people are reliant upon food banks which have less donations and its poison processed food. 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
