The Edward R. Murrow Collection: Harvest Of Shame

Presented by CBS News correspondent Dan Rather, Murrow's "Harvest of Shame" is among the most famous television documentaries of all time. Richly photographed and arrestingly poignant, this long-acclaimed 1960 expose on the plight of migrant farm workers resonated deeply for a nation unfamiliar with such brutally honest depictions of living conditions that, as Murrow remarks, "wrong the dignity of man". Televised to millions of Americans the day after Thanksgiving to better tap their emotions, Murrow's indispensable classic led to permanent changes in the law protecting workers' rights.
