The Great Depression

Hopefully you won't get bored. It is just a slideshow based on The Great Depression. I made it for my Economics class. The music and dialogue may make it a bit more interesting. Please do not steal any of my work! I think that's all that needs to be said! Enjoy:)

The voiceover is Russell Crowe as James J. Braddock from Cinderella Man.

Music: Alan Silvestri-Castaway Theme

No copyright infringement intended.
I do not own any of the images or music or movie dialogue.

I'm a theatre student in a sound class and we are suppose to find music to match our emotional reaction to a picture he gave us. This is perfect, would you mind if I used it?

@yes2014 Go for it! I don't own the music anyway! If you want the music itself, just look up Castaway Theme by Alan Silvestri. :)

Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!!

This brought me to tears, I had to email it to my history teacher to show him as well. Wonderful choice of music and I really liked your idea of the voiceover. You did a wonderful job, you must've gotten a wonderful grade as well.

Worth more than five stars.

I remember the Depression very well and the Dirty 30s. Lot of these are Dust Bowl pictures. I remember a lot of wealthy people went broke.

Would really like to share this with friends on FB, but I cannot embed this video. It was not restricted in this way the last time I viewed it. What a shame.

@AmazingItalianGirl But...for some reason we fail to realize that this is what 3rd world countries endure in 2011. As Savgal states, this is where we are headed. We just borrowed money from China. We can't take something from nothing. I personally think we are living in the great depression. Many are unemployed and homeless. Every dollar you make goes right back to bill collectors and landlords. You pay off school until death, and your house. Its easier not to work than it is to work.

****This is a guess****

If the average man in 1929 worked 9-5 (8 hrs) and was paid 55cents per hour his pay for the week was.... $17.60

If the average man in 1933 worked 9-5 (8 hrs) and was paid 5cents per hour his pay for the week was... $2.80

OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGG­GGGG
