In This Room
A homeless family in the United States tries to hold together daily life after losing steady work and stable housing. The film follows their routines up close, meals, sleeping arrangements, the logistics of getting kids to school and parents to job searches, while economic opportunity keeps shrinking around them. Rather than narrating statistics about poverty, it stays in the rooms, shelters, and temporary spaces the family passes through, letting the strain show in small moments rather than commentary. The children's perspective gets particular attention, how they understand instability that adults are struggling to explain to themselves. There is no outside expert laying out policy solutions here; the camera simply stays with one family long enough to see what precarity actually looks like day to day. It is a small, close film about a large problem, built entirely from the household's own experience of losing ground and trying to hold on to normalcy anyway.
