{"product_id":"0014381467123","title":"Our Daily Bread and Other Films of the Great Depression","description":"\"This DVD release features King Vidor's fascinating 1933 feature Our Daily Bread along with a collection of documentary short subjects that dealt with similar political and social issues during the Depression. For Our Daily Bread, Vidor, a director who had displayed an interest in social realism in The Crowd and Hallelujah!, moved away from the Hollywood studios and independently produced this drama about a group of workers, struggling to support themselves after losing their jobs, who join together to create a communal farm. Despite an often inexperienced cast and a sometimes clich?d screenplay, Our Daily Bread is a remarkable and prescient example of leftist populism, and the final sequence is surprisingly effective. This video also features three landmark documentary shorts by Pare Lorentz -- The River, The Plow That Broke the Plains, and Power and the Land, which deal in lyrical terms with how the WPA and the Tennessee Valley Authority changed the land and helped create greater opportunities for the poor. Also included are California Election News No. 1, California Election News No. 2, and The New Frontier.\"","brand":"IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47091538624752,"sku":"0014381467123","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0014381467123_p0.jpg?v=1763763836","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0014381467123","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
