The Face of Poverty Synopsis

This short film confronts America's widening poverty gap through a creative journey along New York City streets, observing the stark contrast between the rich and the poor contained within only a few blocks. People from all walks of life, whether they live on the street or study at Columbia University, approach the glaring problem through unique perspectives. The viewer sees the honest tour of New York's poverty gap and ideas of how to solve it, through the thoughts of everyday people and through the eyes of poverty herself.
