Скачать или смотреть The Dust Bowl: When the Sky Went Black | America's Greatest Environmental Disaster

In the 1930s, the American Great Plains were turned into a living nightmare. Years of overfarming, drought, and human mismanagement transformed fertile land into a barren wasteland. Then came the storms — walls of black dust thousands of feet high, swallowing farms, towns, and hope itself.

This cinematic documentary takes you on a journey through the rise and fall of the Dust Bowl era:

🌾 The boom years of the Great Plow-Up and record wheat harvests
💰 The collapse of grain prices and the agricultural depression of the 1920s
🌪️ The terrifying “black blizzards” that turned day into night
🚜 The suffering, migration, and resilience of families forced to flee
🌱 How science, conservation, and cooperation slowly brought the land back to life

Shot in immersive black-and-white and inspired by authentic 1930s photography, this film is both a historical record and a warning — a reminder of the fragile balance between humanity and the land we depend on.
