From the Paper:

"The Grapes of Wrath is one of the most classic movies in movie history. It was directed in 1940 by John Ford, and was based on the book written by John Steinbeck. During the Great Depression, many farmers worked on the Southern Great Plains of the United States planting wheat. Parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and the Dakotas, had a severe drought, which killed their wheat plants. Vicious dust storms turned the sky black, which came to be called the Sandstorms. These conditions, caused farmers unable to make their mortgage payments and the banks took their land."
