The Dust Bowl

The Dust Bowl

Nov 14, 2012

In this series, Ken Burns and producer Dayton Duncan chronicle the Dust Bowl in all its complexities and profound human drama. It is both an oral history, using interviews of 30 survivors, and an historical accounting of what happened and why during the 1930s on the southern Plains, using first person accounts, narration, comments by historians, and restored photographs, footage and music from the period.

  1. I am a member, and I am very disappointed that I missed the “Dust Bowl” chronicle. I did not see it listed on the schedule I received from you. Why?

    Thanks.

      In reviewing both the printed schedule that is mailed and the pdf available on the website, the Dust Bowl is listed as airing on 11/18 (part 1) and 11/19 (part 2) at 8pm and 10pm.
