Living Broke in Boom Times

"LIVING BROKE IN BOOM TIMES" has condensed three groundbreaking documentary films by Pamela Yates and Peter Kinoy (Takeover, Poverty Outlaw & Outriders) into segments of ideal length for classroom use. These films examine activist efforts by and on the behalf of the homeless and destitute, with contemporary interviews and commentary from key activists who led the movement and were featured in the original films. Willie Baptist, Liz Theoharis, and Cheri Honkala discuss the strengths and weaknesses of organizing, and their experiences as part of the anti-poverty movement.
