Americas Poor Kids ( Child Poverty Documentary) Real Stories
In the United States, child poverty has reached record levels, with over 16 million children now affected. Food banks are facing unprecedented demand, and homeless shelters now have long waiting lists, as families who have known a much better life have to leave their homes, sometimes with just a few days notice. Americas Poor Kids meets three children whose families are struggling to get by, and asks them to tell us what life in modern America really looks like through their eyes. Told from the point of view of the children themselves, this onehour documentary offers a unique perspective on the nation s flagging economy and the impact of unemployment, homelessness, and poverty as seen through the eyes of the children affected.
