The Great Depression 1934 Directed by Maurice Bailen

An underground docudrama of the Depression, and rare surviving film from Chicago’s WFPL. The protagonist looks in vain for work, only to find ‘no help wanted’. Acerbic editing transforms his plight into a guide to the brutal contrasts of the era.
