Illuminati (3rd Degree)
A classic movie made from a classic book by John Steinbeck is, The Grapes of Wrath. It tackled one of the more profound periods of American life. The 1930's depression era. And the struggles of an Oklahoma family pulling up roots during the dust bowl climate that added insult to injury for farmers. No rain, high heat and wind blowing the top soil away.
The Joad family like many other "Okies" as they were called headed for California. The promised land and hopeful of jobs or a stake in farming again. People were taken advantage of though by unscrupulous people of means. Henry Fonda as the lead role as Tom Joad becomes the patriarch when his father dies. But becomes enmeshed with the law and unscrupulous types that have the law in their pockets.
The movie as the book is as relevant today as then.
