The Grapes Of Wrath 1940.

The story of the Joad family is told, they, poor Oklahoma sharecroppers, who, like

all others in their situation, are pushed off the land by the wealthy landowners,

many large corporations, during the Great Depression, and, as a result, they, again

like many others in their situation, making the decision for the dozen or so of the

family members, with another one on the way, to migrate to what is seen as the land

of opportunity, California, where jobs, specifically as fruit pickers, are

purported to be plentiful. Not only because of the jalopy of a truck they could

afford to buy to make the trek and their remaining limited funds which they

calculate should just be enough to get them to California where they will once

again start to earn money, their trip is not without incident from unforeseen

circumstances. Arriving in California, they discover that the land of opportunity

is not all it was advertised to be, with they and all others like them facing

different challenges to survive, where, if there are jobs to be had, they are more

often than not for wages on which a family cannot survive, and with security on

site with guns and clubs to control labour unrest. Often, they will have to make

some difficult decisions on whether to accept work in unacceptable conditions in

even attempting to survive, or hold out, like some others are doing, but who are

considered "agitators" who the owners will do anything to eliminate, for good if

need be. While Ma Joad believes that the family unit is the most important thing

that has always gotten them through the bad times, oldest son Tom Joad may have the

most holistically consequential decisions as the one on parole, he just released

from prison after four years of a seven year sentence for killing a man in a bar

brawl.
