In 1930s America, the nation is ripped apart by an economic shock that ripples through the whole of society. The Wall Street Crash in October 1929 defines President Herbert Hoover鈥檚 term in office, but ultimately the crisis overwhelms him. In the mid states, life remains precarious. A series of droughts turns the wheat fields into dust, and over one million Americans leave farms and homesteads to resettle elsewhere. Prohibition ends, the FBI under J Edgar Hoover cracks down on crime, Hollywood is in its heyday, drawing in hopeful stars from around the country, and nightclubs are filled with the new Swing dance craze.

In this programme, rare and unseen footage shows us the decade in colour for the first time.
