Watch The Dust Bowl | Ken Burns
The Dust Bowl chronicles the environmental catastrophe that, throughout the 1930s, destroyed the farmlands of the Great Plains, turned prairies into deserts, and unleashed a pattern of massive, deadly dust storms that for many seemed to herald the end of the world. It was the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history.
Using seldom seen movie footage, previously unpublished photographs and the compelling interviews of 26 survivors of those hard times, The Dust Bowl is a story of heroic perseverance against enormous odds.
