When the dust bowl of the 1930's forces a family off of their land, they can fall apart or come together.
This is one of my all time favourite movies. It shows the resilience of people. The book was quite controversial in its time; the movie was able to avoid much of the controversy while staying true to the novel.

There is so much more to this story than just a family migrating to California; this is a story of the indomitable human spirit: those that try to crush it and those that help it grow.
I first saw this movie when I was a young man living alone in a strange town. I discovered loneliness as I searched for meaning in my life. Eventually I found the things I could believe in and be part of. This movie and its message has always stayed with me and it is a special part of my collection.
