The Line

Poverty in America looks vastly different than you might expect. Many people who struggle financially are working every day to pay their bills, trying to achieve their dreams, and doing everything possible to support their families. They are your neighbors and friends. They pray next to you in church.

A new film called The Line reveals what poverty in America looks like today. This powerful documentary features the stories of real people at or below the poverty line and their creative, inspiring responses to the challenges they face.
