Dust is an enemy. It looks like an ad for Swiffer, but we mean it here in the original sense of the term. In the early 1930s, dust storms ravaged the central United States which, combined with severe droughts, would significantly damage the region’s ecology and agriculture. Nicknamed “Dusty Thirties”, the period will cause the displacement of thousands of people like this extremely famous Migrant motherphotographed by Dorothea Lange.
Such a desolate landscape makes a perfect setting for a horror film – a genre proliferating these days on streaming platforms because yes, it’s almost Halloween. In Hold Your Breathdelivered by Disney+, we immerse ourselves in a small community in Oklahoma in 1933, where Margaret (Sarah Paulson) lives. Under these extreme conditions, her farm is looking very bad and while her husband has gone to look for work in the east, the only cow is struggling to feed their two daughters.
