A montage of photographs from the United States Digital Archives and Shenandoah National Park depicting life during the "Great Depression." The video details aspects of the "Great Depression" through out the United States including poverty, the "Dust Bowl," and unemployment. The second part of the film documents the relocation of "Mountaineers" in the Shenandoah National Park by the National Park Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The final part of the film illustrates work projects conducted by the CCC in Shenandoah National Park. The three categories in the film are accompanied by specific songs and music correlating with the photographic documentation.

    With the current US Banking and Credit Crisis, Massive Personal and Gvt Debt levels, and the dollar losing its Reserve currency status, we will most likely be resigned to this same fate once again very soon

    The economy is changing, our industries need to stragegize and innovate to help those who are being unemployed and folks looking for work may be retrained and hired. Government needs to do what it can to provide tax incentives to help business flourish and continue stimulus to do those things that private industry can't or won't.

    Those folks were ultra poor and it must have been awful at times. At least they weren't headoverheels in debt like most of us are. God help us all!
