The Plow That Broke the Plains	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Plow That Broke the Plains is a 1936 documentary short film written and directed by Pare Lorentz.This 25-minute short was a work of the federal government, as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program. The film is a history of white settlement of the Great Plains, from 1880 when "the Indian" was "cleared out" to the 1930s and the devastation of the Dust Bowl. Lorentz's film caused a fair bit of controversy by pinning the blame of the Dust Bowl squarely on the farmers themselves, farming having led to the destruction of the Plains grassland and the devastating loss of topsoil when drought killed the wheat crops.

The Plow That Broke the Plains / int_4ca752e1	type	Deadly Dust Storm
The Plow That Broke the Plains / int_4ca752e1	comment	Deadly Dust Storm: The most famous Real Life example, as the Dust Bowl devastates the plains. The film is a 1936 documentary short that recounts the history of the Great Plains and how over-farming led to the Dust Bowl. The latter portion of the film in which the dust storms wipe out everything is quite harrowing.
