Based on John Steinbeck’s acclaimed novel, The Grapes of Wrath (1940) follows the Joad family as they are driven from their Oklahoma farm during the Great Depression and journey to California in search of work and a better life. Along the way, they face hardship, injustice and poverty, in this powerful story of resilience, dignity and hope.
