Of Mice and Men, a portrait of friendship and loneliness, is a tribute to the half million who headed to California in search of the American Dream. Critics discuss labor exploitation in the Salinas Valley during the Depression and the lifestyle faced by migrant laborers. Passages from the novella; interviews, and archival footage and photos of Wall Street, FDR, the Dust Bowl, and the 1936 lettuce strike; and an excerpt from Woody Guthrie's "Bound for Glory" add depth to this powerful study. A BBC Production.
