1. POVERTY IN AMERICA
Homelessness, hunger and shame: poverty is rampant in the richest country in the world. Over 40
million people in the United States live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years
ago. It can happen very quickly.
Many people in the United States fall through the social safety net. In the structurally weak mining
region of the Appalachians, it has become almost normal for people to go shopping with food
stamps. And those who lose their home often have no choice but to live in a car. There are so many
homeless people in Los Angeles that relief organizations have started to build small wooden huts to
provide them with a roof over their heads. The number of homeless children has also risen
dramatically, reaching 1.5 million, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. A
documentary about the fate of the poor in the United States today.
