Our Daily Bread

El pan nuestro de cada día

English audio, versión original (VOSE) · El cine social en el Hollywood Pre-Code

A couple, down on their luck during the Great Depression, moves to a farm to try to make a go of living off the land. They have no idea what to do at first, but soon find other downtrodden people to help them. Soon, they have a collective of people, some from the big city, who work together on a farm. A severe drought is killing the crops. The people then dig a ditch by hand, almost two miles long, to divert water from a creek to irrigate the crops.
