Comments about PBS P.O.V.: Waging A Living DVD:

I use this movie in conjunction with an American Dream unit for my 11th grade lit class. After reading Gatsby we read Of Mice and Men and discuss those (such as Lennie and George) who can never reach the elusive American Dream. This video gives great contemporary examples of the same idea- I highly recommend it!
