The Great Depression
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM8yxBL21Pk
This is a video that I want to use in my movie. I write about a factory director and his family’s life during the Great Depression and the New Deal. This video portrays the big difference between the roaring twenties and the Great depression. High suicidal rate, starvation and poorness were showed in this video. By adding this video into my movie, I hope people can get a clear sense about what was the real life of a person who lived during the Great Depression.

1929 Wall Street Stock crash
The stock market crash in 1929 made many people lose all their money overnight. Many people committed a suicide aftermath. Therefore, the Fox Movietone News made movies advising people to do not put their money on stocks. However, it wouldn’t last long until people started investing their money on stocks again.

The crash of 1929
This image is from Time.com, and it belongs to the Bettmann-Corbis archive. The picture was taken during the Great Depression that began on October 29, 1929, which is also known as Black Tuesday.
The first time I saw this picture was during a recent visit to the MoMA. At first, the image makes me smile because it shows a humorous aspect in a tragic time. During the Great depression approximately 25% of population was unemployed and affected every segment of society. The picture is important to me because it reminds me that history is repeating itself. Like in the Great depression, the world is now experiencing a huge economic downturn due to the failure of the traditional financial system.
