Scenes in negro sharecropper cot- tages create an impression of poverty. The economic crisis and the government acreage restrictions are shown as con- tributing factors. Organization of the sharecroppers into the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union is dramatized, and a strike is called. The land owners plot against the sharecroppers and beat up the union organizers. The film's emphasis then shifts to a general discussion of the crisis in cotton. It is shown that America has lost its domination of the world cot- ton market and that the southern cotton states must face new competition also from the western states. The film comes to the conclusion that both sharecropper and land owner are caught in cotton's decline and it blames conditions not on the individuals of either side but on the one crop system."
