Newsreels, Some Events of 1932

Rewind to a year of grit and glory with Newsreels, Some Events of 1932, a crackling sound newsreel anthology stitching together 1932’s pulse in vivid snippets. This mid-century reel kicks off at Lake Placid’s Olympic Winter Games—skates glint as an ice stilt-walker dazzles, stunt skiers soar, and jumpers defy gravity amid snowy cheers (00:00). The scene shifts—Franklin D. Roosevelt’s voice booms gratitude to voters for his landslide win (00:25), a new dawn breaking over Hoover’s fade. Herbert Hoover counters, his campaign plea resolute yet waning (01:31), while FDR’s own stump speeches thunder—first a fireside vow (01:56), then Boston’s throng roars as he rallies (02:34). Grainy yet alive, these sound bites—skis slicing, crowds chanting—capture a nation tilting toward change.
