The Award winning Ken Burns presents, The Dust Bowl. This compelling collection documents the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history, which nearly swept away the breadbasket of the nation. Vivid interviews, dramatic photographs and seldom seen movie footage, bring to life incredible stories of human suffering and perseverance. It is also a morality tale about our relationship to the land that sustains us...a lesson we ignore at our peril.
