When the World Breaks | Great Depression
21WIRE –
Our weekly documentary film is curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE.
In 1929 the world was launched into the darkest time in modern economic history. That same year, Ernest Hemingway wrote: “The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong in the broken places.”
“When the World Breaks” is a film about creativity and survival during the Great Depression of the 1930s, with striking parallels to current times.
Depression-era life and art come alive with rare film clips and personal stories from survivors like Ray Bradbury, Jerry Stiller, Buzz Aldrin and Phyllis Diller to take us beyond the bread lines and dustbowls into a vibrant cinematic portrait of this formative decade in American history.
In the modern era, we appear not to have learned from the terrible decisions that are a shadow in the past. We frequently hear the term recession used in the news, without a real understanding of the wider challenge of a greater depression looming. Watch:

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
