The 'Promised Land' Barred to 'Hoboes' is a 1936 newsreel that presents a historical account of the California 'Bum Blockade'. Directed by Hearst Metrotone News, this film offers a glimpse into a unique moment in American history.
This film, given its newsreel format and historical context, is somewhat of a rarity among collectors, as many newsreels from the era haven't survived in good condition. Its significance lies in its documentation of a specific social issue which piques interest among historians and collectors alike. Formats available are limited, so finding a well-preserved copy can be a challenge, making it a notable piece for those focused on socio-political themes in film history.
