Real Stories of Poverty in America: Less Than

Set in Amarillo, Texas, this documentary hands the story of poverty in America to the teachers, pastors, and community leaders who see its human cost up close. It weaves their testimony together with research to build a picture of economic struggle that goes beyond the headlines. Urgent and grounded, it treats poverty as a lived reality rather than a talking point. It is a compassionate and clear-eyed look at hardship in a wealthy nation.
