Video Description:
I colorized, restored and created sound design for this video offers a rare glimpse into everyday life in the Great Depression of the 1930s. It opens with arid, hilly landscapes of central Washington—likely Yakima County—where migrant farm workers lived in makeshift shelters. These scenes are interwoven with striking industrial footage from Detroit’s auto factories and working-class neighborhoods in Chicago, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Together, they form a vivid portrait of Depression-era America, capturing both the hardship of rural life and the industrial strength of its cities, reflecting the resilience of a nation in transformation.

Amazing to see the past like this. I'm sure all those frame homes no longer exist but I do wonder if the brick apt buildings at the 2:30 mark are still there. They were built really well. Hand-crafted architecture. I would not be surprised at all if they are still standing. I lived in several units like that when I was a kid. Oh, the cars. To have one of those today . . . shazam.
