It should be a movie that is appropriate for 8th graders and easy enough to understand for 8th graders. It should be a movie that shows the hardships and teaches about what was going on during this time period.

I agree the grapes of wrath is an amazing novel by John Steinbeck which was made into a movie.
The book is great and it isn’t inappropriate for 8th graders. Its about a family that has lost everything in the depression and about living on nothing to eat and in a home with a torn up family… very sad tho
Grapes of Wrath, Although I’ve never seen it, I hear it’s a great movie about the Depression.
I think CINDERELLA MAN (with Russel Crowe) would be perfect. It’s a more current film and a great story about a family during the Depression. It’s like the movie Rocky but during the Depression era.
The Grapes of Wrath From the olden days I had to read the book and watched the movie in recent times gone by,It truly covered the depression era.
