Video: "Cinderella Man" -- The Impact of the Great Depression
"Cinderella Man" If you missed some or all of the video, you may click here to watch it. There will be commercials on the page and there may be a pop-up that you will need to close. You do not need to register to watch the video; just click out of the ad in the middle of the little TV screen and click the triangular “play” button. You may need to watch a commercial before the film begins. You can use the little timeline tool at the bottom of the screen to fast-forward to the segment of the movie that you need. The film may take time to buffer when you skip ahead, so please be patient.
