The line between fertile grassland and desert wasteland can be very thin. What was once green and verdant can become desolate and barren in a blink of geologic time. In the 1930s, a severe drought and poor agricultural methods turned an area of the southwestern United States into a virtual dust bowl, as valuable topsoil was blown hundreds and thousands of miles away. This video uses archival footage and interviews with survivors to paint a dramatic portrait of the Dust Bowl era
