Rating:  3/10
Rating: ***
Comment: One boy in dark bibs as pictured in pic 2 and another, much younger boy sitting. I previously missed a boy and man at the very end (pic 1) brief scene.

From the Prelinger archives. 8 minutes. On archive.org there's this and another 10 minutes film of the same name (part I), on YouTube called "Dust Bowl: Rain For the Earth", with obviously same people (and a young, barefooted boy standing. So there must be an even longer version (at least 14 minutes). Maybe part 2 has a different title?

For now the last movie from the USA National Archives and similar series, I recently found. No entry on IMDb.
