How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of American dispossession during the Depression, following a family's desperate westward journey with unflinching empathy and simmering rage at systemic injustice. Steinbeck's social conscience burns through every frame, this is cinema as moral witness.
