The Grapes of Wrath
The Joads step right out of the pages of the novel that has shocked millions!
A sweeping, socially conscious drama about a family's desperate struggle for survival and dignity during the Great Depression, grounded in intimate family bonds amid systemic collapse.
Tom Joad returns to his home after a jail sentence to find his family kicked out of their farm due to foreclosure. He catches up with them on his Uncle’s farm, and joins them the next day as they head for California and a new life... Hopefully.
