The New Face of America: Inside the Second Great Depression

Explore the harrowing reality of the modern American struggle in this documentary. With 43 million people living below the poverty line - double the rate of fifty years ago - the U.S. faces a socioeconomic tipping point. From the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles to the systemic food insecurity of the Appalachian mining regions, we uncover the lives of 1.5 million homeless children, a figure now triple that of the Great Depression. Witness the stories of displaced families surviving on unstable gig work and the community-led efforts, like tiny house villages, providing a last line of defense against the streets.
