Synopsis

The Dyess Colony

The plot

The Dyess Colony was a federal resettlement program designed to help farmers devastated by floods, droughts, and the Great Depression. The community thrived until World War II and other factors caused population to dwindle. Today, the community is using its past to build a future. The resurgence of Dyess includes a celebration of Johnny Cash, the town’s most famous citizen. The Dyess Colony is a documentary tracing the rise, demise, and resurrection of this small Arkansas community.
