Wow..amazing stuff here..it is rare to get a chance to see clips like these uninterrupted by narration. You truly get a sense for the era and people..this dvd is like a time machine that will hurl you back to that amazing era. Apparantly many of the clips included in the set have never been released in any form as they were newsreel out-takes that were not even seen back in the day...
For anyone who really wants to experience what that era FELT like..check this DVD/CD out...and the CD is fabulous..just the tune THE PANIC IS ON is worth the price of purchase!

Again as an educator, this is just another teaching tool for me; I wanted my students to experience that era so I TOOK THEM THERE! And once again when they put their thoughts on paper, I could plainly see they enjoyed the educational trip.

I suggest to many educators out there, if you want to really get your point across about any topic - don't just say it with notes, show it and then discuss your notes; you will not "lose" one student's attention - trust me on this.

Was interesting, but we liked other video about the depression that we ordered better. ('The Great Depression', and that one was longer and cheaper.) It did have a couple of short movies at the end that were worth watching.
