Description

Pack your bandana and brace for flying topsoil—we're heading into one of the harshest environmental catastrophes in American history. In this episode, we follow the families who watched their farms literally blow away as dust storms turned daylight black and hope into something fragile. From "Okie" caravans on Route 66 to crowded labor camps in California, this is the story of resilience under almost impossible conditions. It's gritty, heartbreaking, and profoundly human: a reminder that the Great Depression wasn't just Wall Street numbers—it was millions of people searching for stability, dignity, and a place that felt like home.
