Totally biased
The film would have you believe that the depression ended shortly after Roosevelt's election. He was a god, Republicans and capitalism were evil. The truth is the country remained in the depression throughout the 1930s and things in 1939 were as bad or worst than 1933 when Roosevelt took over. The only thing that got the U.S. out of the depression was W.W. II when Roosevelt was forced to go private businesses to ramp up for the war. This is the truth that escapes PBS and liberal filmmakers.
The lesson unlearned was that government can only do so much. Too much government is a recipe for economic and social failure. Look around the world.
This film made no mention of any Roosevelt failings. It's a shame that the film was so slanted because much of the footage was interesting. It's a perfect film for Sundance.
