OK but all the misery and dire stories were too much for me. I'm sure it's an accurate detailing from a historical perspective but I'd rather see a one hour documentary on Nova instead of 4 hours of memories of miserable times.At least Nova would explain the cause effectivly. YMMV

  Yes I did.I didn't watch the whole thing So maybe my desription is a bit flawed. A more condensed version would be more to my liking though . I'm going to watch the rerun tomorrow nite when I have more time. It is an important part of our history.
It did get a little weary. - free.ranger 23:29:02 11/18/12 (0)
They kept hammering on the same points of misery constantly. The event was so hideous that the horror of it all was understood with just half of that testimony.

I liked the parts about the origins of the mess, where the people came from, and what the government's role was. That's stuff I never knew. Hoover was all but hung for it - that and the coinciding Depression.

What a time that was. Exit WW1, proceed directly into the Depression and Dust Bowl era, then keep marching straight into WW2. A large, sweet piece of history.
