Plot
A moving and unforgettable tale, inspired by real-life stories of courage and perseverance during the Dust Bowl of 1930s America
United States, 1937. In the middle of the Great Depression, 22-year-old photographer John Clark is brought in by the Farm Security Administration to document the calamitous conditions of the Dust Bowl in the central and southern states, in order to bring the farmers' plight to the public eye.
When he starts working through his shooting script, however, he finds his subjects to be unreceptive. What good are a couple of photos against relentless and deadly dust storms?
The more he shoots, the more John discovers the awful extent of their struggles, and comes to question his own role and responsibilities in this tragedy sweeping through the center of the country.

John es contratado por primera vez por una gran empresa. Y esa es para mí la esencia de la obra. Viajar para documentar la miseria de un pueblo, retratada a través de personas que sufren y resisten e inspirada en fotos reales, para acabar descubriendo la miseria de su propia profesión, algo que te lleva a cuestionar tu ética, en este caso documentando una tragedia. Una crítica a los medios de comunicación envuelta en tormentas de arena y desesperación. Un dibujo y un color espectaculares, que dan vida a unos personajes secundarios algo planos y que parece que se sucedan como escenas de una obra de teatro, siendo más palancas que ayudan a la evolución del protagonista que un entramado de relaciones, con cierta profundidad o transfondo, en el contexto de una sociedad que vive y muere en la bruma sin futuro. Huele a cuento con moraleja, si, pero eso no tiene nada de malo. ¡Me ha encantado!
