New Film
Our new film will release in 2027.
For decades, the dominant approaches to poverty alleviation in the United States have been centralized, top-down, and expert-led. An enormous amount of public and private time, effort, and money has been spent—and yet millions of struggling Americans appear stuck. What can be done?
For a new documentary film, the creators of Poverty, Inc. are traveling across the country looking for what went wrong in American efforts to solve poverty—and capturing the inspiring stories of people finding a better way. Follow us for updates.
