Soul of a People: Writing America's Story Free Online HD on Lookmovie. In the grip of the Great Depression, unemployed men and women joined an unlikely WPA program to document America in guidebooks and interviews.

From that experience, some of America's great writers found their own voices, and discovered the Soul of a People. — Spark Media
