The Great Depression of 1929

The Great Depression of 1929 shattered the illusion of permanent prosperity. This film explores how a booming economy collapsed — and how ordinary lives were transformed by the crisis that followed. Beginning in the late 1920s United States, the economic collapse unfolded through speculation, debt, and fragile financial systems. The stock market crash triggered bank failures, mass unemployment, and a global downturn that reshaped societies and governments. This documentary reconstructs the Great Depression through historical records and visual interpretation, tracing its causes, human impact, and long-term consequences. It examines not only the collapse itself, but the lessons that continue to shape modern economic thinking. Some visual elements are interpretive in nature, created to illustrate conditions and experiences that cannot be fully captured through surviving footage alone. If there are other moments in history you would like to see explored with this approach, suggestions are welcome in the comments. 00.00 The Illusion of Endless Prosperity 00.36 The Roaring Twenties Economy 02.23 Buying the American Dream on Credit 04.03 Fragile Banking Systems 04.59 October 1929 Approaches 06.45 Aftermath of Depression 07.58 Homelessness and Shantytowns 09.10 A New Direction Emerges 10.19 Lasting Economic Lessons 11.07 Why It Still Matters?
