Set In Great Depression Boy Killed by Train

This was set during the great depression or WW2. A woman is raising her kids, I think alone. They live in a shack villiage that is beside the train tracks. Her son ends up being killed by the train. One of her children gets bit by a snake and she slices it open and sucks out the poison. This is a tragic movie, but a wonderful depiction of the era it is set in.

  1. Another “similar movie I can recommend” is The Raggedy Man, with Sissy Spacek raising two kids alone during the Depression.
