Product Description:

This WGBH production tells the story of the 250,000 teenagers in America who left their homes to ride freight trains across the country in the middle of the Great Depression. Interviews with witnesses and rare footage accurately document the emotion and angst of the teens in that era. The soundtrack includes music from various folk artists like Woody Guthrie, Jimmie Rodgers, Doc Watson, and Brownie McGhee.
