This multifaceted project eloquently communicates both the painful hard times of the Great Depression and the grace and strong will of the common man in confronting it. The DVD is comprised of intimate newsreel footage that captures a wide panorama of everyday American life - a soup kitchen in lower Manhattan, striking workers in North Carlolina, the Boswell Sisters cheering up Congressmen in Washington D.C., etc.. The CD compiles musical performances from the period that comment on the distressful times, both in vivid reporting and comical satire. Great performers like Bessie Smith, Eddie Cantor, Roy Acuff, Woodie Guthrie and many more present 23 classic selections. |
