1930s – Chicago, Detroit, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington in color [60fps, Remastered] Sound Design

I colorized, restored and created sound design for this video offers a rare glimpse into everyday life in the Great Depression of the 1930s. It opens with arid, hilly landscapes of central Washington—likely Yakima County—where migrant farm workers lived in makeshift shelters. These scenes are interwoven with striking industrial footage from Detroit’s auto factories and working-class neighborhoods in Chicago, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Together, they form a vivid portrait of Depression-era America, capturing both the hardship of rural life and the industrial strength of its cities, reflecting the resilience of a nation in transformation.
