In 1930s America, the region known as “The Bread Basket” was devastated and transformed into the desolate “Dust Bowl”.

During the 1920s, The Great Plains experienced more than enough rain for crops, and plentiful harvests that resulted in a strong economy. However, one dry summer in 1930 changed everything. Soon, the plains were dried out, and overrun with massive dust storms. 

Farms were decimated and thousands of people had to leave their homes. The Okies, as many of them became known, were refugees who resettled in California, and other places less affected by the cataclysmic dust.

Witness the farmers and their families forced to traverse the dry American landscape in search of new life.
