Our Daily Bread

1934 · 80 min

A sincere Depression-era fable of communal grit, hopeful and a little corny, with earthy hardship and a stirring collective spirit.

Tagline: We live! We love! We fight! We hate! What don't we do for - OUR DAILY BREAD
Overview: John and Mary Sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.
How it feels: Earnest, uplifting, melancholic and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Survival, found family, class, work
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
