The Plow that broke the plains (1936) [video]

My understanding is that history is about to repeat itself, there are vast areas under unsustainable irrigation... when the water runs out, it'll happen again.

I genuinely wonder why old films like this are digitized to such low resolution. Photographic film has very high resolution, even the old stuff, like this, but it always seems like it's digitized by someone that doesn't care how it looks.
