| Summary |
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Lee Grant's exploration of Reagan-era America takes us from the heartland, where farms that have fed the U.S. for a century are being dismembered by local banks, through the tent-cities of Los Angeles and welfare hotels of New York. A groundbreaking and unforgettable look at life inside an America we have been too quick to forget. “In ‘DOWN AND OUT IN AMERICA,’ the current state of American politics is seen in its first monstrous stages.” - ***The New Yorker***, April 2020 |
