Tabakstraße (1941)
Jeeter Lester und seine Familie leben auf einer heruntergekommenen Farm in Georgia. Eine Gegend, in der früher Tabak angebaut wurde und wo der Boden so ausgelaugt ist, dass er für den Baumwollanbau nichts mehr her gibt. Armut und Verfall sind in der gesamten Region spürbar. Auch die Lesters leben mehr oder weniger von der Hand im Mund und eine bevorstehende Pachterhöhung könnte das endgültige Aus bedeuten. Verzweifelt lässt Jeeter nichts unversucht, um die drohende Enteignung abzuwenden...
