This 2017 documentary explores what poverty means to children in America through the stories of three families.
Travel to the Quad Cities, a great American crossroads along the border of Iowa and Illinois, to explore the lives of children living in the suburbs of the nation’s heartland and growing up poor. Told from the point of view of the children themselves, this one-hour documentary offers perspective on the impact of unemployment, foreclosure and financial distress as seen through the eyes of the children affected.
All American National kids should be equal no kid should be like a Donald Trump kid a worthless spoiled piece of s*** is what happens. The damn kid will never know the meaning of the word work. Spoiled by a worthless piece of garbage for a father who thinks he’s a gangster
We have people here who as. kids we’re hunting in the forest and building houses and cars. Learning how to tough it out when the going gets rough, not being dressed up in a tuxedo at 7 years old.
This country has got one hell of a lot of work to do, starting with eliminating the billionaire, who is nothing more than a civilization killer
I grew up poor but I didn’t know it until I grew up.
Yup, me too, Mary. It’s a good thing in many ways. That sounds dumb, but it’s true.
Both of my parents grew up in poor families, as did I. Nobody should feel that any of this is our fault, it’s not, it is the fault of the treasonous, Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Zionist bastards that stole all our country’s wealth. America is now a third world shit hole for most people, and it’s going to take a lot of spilled blood to restore it to what it once was and what it stood for.
Two of these families were white, and yet PBS and its NPR sister promote the garbage known as “white privilege”? So I guess poor whites can just keep on being poor and it’s their fault, since PBS and NPR really really couldn’t care less. And yes, we were also quite poor a couple of years during the mid-90s since I couldn’t work (homeschooling kids) and hubby had a hard time getting work because of known association with a certain (Republic of Texas) person we’d known for years….you know who I mean, and hubby didn’t get a good paying job until this narcissist was put in jail in 1997 after the standoff.
