The Century: America's Time

Season 1 Episode 4: 1929-1936: Stormy Weather

America – a nation that claimed ever-increasing wealth as a birthright – was rudely awakened by the Great Depression, which caused 25 percent unemployment, the closing of 9,000 banks, and the loss of $2.5 billion in deposits. This program captures a people's struggle as they faced the collapse of prosperity and diminished hope of being able to experience the American Dream.
