    Add Review/Comment

    Soul of a People tells the story of the Federal Writers' Project, one of the cultural initiatives of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Through this controversial program, thousands of unemployed writers were paid to capture a remarkable portrait in words of something less tangible: the country's soul. Soul of a People is a documentary produced by Spark Media, an award-winning Washington, D.C.-based production company specializing in issues of social change.

        While at the library, check the book of the same title, Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America (Wiley, 2009) for the chapter about California, including Kenneth Rexroth and Harry Partch. Amazing stuff from Rexroth, previously unpublished! More here: http://tinyurl.com/5e8y3m Collapse
