THE DUST BOWL - A FILM BY KEN BURNS - PBS VIDEO: PREVIEW - PREMIERES SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2012 AT AT 8/7C
THE DUST BOWL, a two-part, four-hour documentary series by Ken Burns, will air November 18 and 19, 2012, 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings). The film chronicles the environmental catastrophe that, throughout the 1930s, destroyed the farmlands of the Great Plains, turned prairies into deserts, and unleashed a pattern of massive, deadly dust storms that for many seemed to herald the end of the world. It was the worst manmade ecological disaster in American history.
This looks great! I think I'll probably be watching it tonight. Thanks for sharing that link too.
