America Lost | Promo
AMERICA LOST explores America’s “forgotten cities” - Youngstown, OH, Memphis, TN and Stockton, CA. Through a series of stories, the film shows the dramatic decline of once prosperous communities. The film sheds light on how crumbling economic and social institutions have created a gap between the haves and have nots while also offering hope for rebuilding America’s “forgotten” from the bottom up.
TRANSCRIPT
(dramatic piano music)
- [Man] This is an area that,
really, people are just hanging on.
- "America Lost" follows my five-year journey
documenting families living on the brink
in three of America's poorest cities.
I wove together these stories
with my own personal impressions,
not of people addressing these problems from the top down,
but individuals, families, neighborhoods, and communities
addressing them from the inside out.
