| Riding the Rails |
| Producer: Wgbh Boston Video |
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and perhaps no time in America's history has been so desperate as the Great Depression. Hundreds of thousands of young men and women left home seeking work and money wherever they could find it, and many of them took to hopping trains as a means of cheap, speedy (though by no means safe) travel. Riding the Rails lets survivors tell their stories of thrills, humiliation, and boredom from a distance of 60 years. The unforgettable story of 250,000 teenagers who left their homes and hopped freight trains during the Great Depression.
