With the economy crumbling and millions of people without jobs, a newly elected president was appointed to lead the nation out of its slump. Sound strikingly familiar? The film is not only a story about the project, but also an essential primer to the Great Depression. It is narrated by Academy Award Nominee Patricia Clarkson.
