New Deal Videos

Fasttrack History has a number of video clips covering US New Deal construction projects in the late 1930s - public information films that students will readily recognise as deeply embedded with propoganda but offering vivid video examples of the ‘shovel-ready’ jobs that remains engrained in our minds when we think of the New Deal programme.
