This documentary takes a look at poverty in America through the lens of one of its cities: Dayton, Ohio. It takes a look at the history of what was once a bustling economic town that has since the 1980s lost its manufacturing base, and where over 30 percent of its residents now live in poverty. Along with economic hardship after the 2008 financial crisis, Dayton was also hit hard by the opioid epidemic. In this documentary, Dayton residents are interviewed about their financial and employment situation. Despite many of them working full-time jobs, they still struggle to make ends meet due to low wages and often need assistance. There are some signs of hope in the city, and the documentary highlights those as well.
