The Depression hit the poorest people hardest, as this film in the series recalling America in the 30s reveals. Tenant farmers starved while their landlords received government aid. As the agricultural poor organised, lynchings became commonplace. In the industrial centres too, trade unions began to attract recruits. The issue became the freedom of the workers versus the freedom of the employers, and confrontation sometimes led to death at the factory gate. Director/Producer Dante J James
