Is Work Relief Better Than The Dole? (1936 Original Black & White Film)
Step back to 1936 with *Is Work Relief Better Than the Dole?*, a thought-provoking documentary that examines the impact and public perception of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. The film raises important questions about the effectiveness of work relief programs compared to direct financial assistance, often referred to as the "dole."
Throughout the documentary, various aspects of WPA work are highlighted, with a focus on how these public works programs not only provided jobs but also contributed to the infrastructure and development of the nation. Emphasizing public opinion, the film illustrates strong support for WPA work relief, underscoring the belief that employment through public projects offered both dignity and a sense of purpose.
*Is Work Relief Better Than the Dole?* invites viewers to consider the long-term benefits of work relief programs and the positive impact they had on both individuals and communities.
