Child poverty in the United States has climbed to more than 16 million children, even as one in twelve American adults remains out of work. This BBC production follows three of those children as they describe their own lives on camera: the school lunches that might be the only meal of the day, the shame of a house without heat, the anxiety of watching parents search for work that doesn't come. Middle-class families losing homes strain local food banks and shelters past capacity, and the film shows those lines forming and the volunteers trying to keep up. There is no narrator standing between the children and the audience; they talk directly about eviction, hunger, and the constant instability of not knowing where they'll sleep next month. The camera stays close and plain, letting kids explain in their own words what it's like to be poor in a country that mostly looks away from it.
