Riding the Rails (1998), documentary. Interesting movie tells the story of teenagers who left home during the Great Depression to ride freight trains all over the country. It was a time when being an unemployed transient was a crime in and of itself, and many of the survivors have harrowing stories to tell. It's easily enough to make you thank your lucky stars that you didn't grow up during the Depression. The film has closed captions for the hearing-impaired. Grade: B
