Two American Families Frontline Documentary

To make this documentary, journalist Bill Moyers checked in on two middle-class American families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for over two decades. Following the parents and their kids, this documentary shows their struggle to stay alive financially against an economy that is perpetually failing the working class. As wages stay stagnant over the decades, the cost of everything seems to rise, as these families struggle to pay their home payments, bills, healthcare, credit card debt, and more. Through it all, both families are resilient in the face of overwhelming financial stress. Both families are also remarkably honest about their financial situations, and you get to know them well on their emotional rollercoaster through the contemporary American economy.
