Summary
In the midst of the despair of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal gave over 200 struggling Midwestern farm families an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to start over on the Alaskan frontier. This film tells the story of this bold government experiment, and the families who found themselves thrust into the national spotlight along the way
