Compelling stories drawn from one of the centuries most harrowing events - the Great Depression. In this program, four seniors recall the poverty; homelessness; soup lines and relief camps that characterized their lives during this period. However, while circumstances were difficult, often in the extreme, each of the seniors also recalls the sense of community and sharing that helped to make life bearable.
