Description

[Machine Translation] The film follows a young girl and her family in New York City for 10 years. Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Journalism, this masterpiece of journalism depicts what lies at the root of poverty. Dasani is a smart and athletic girl, but she is too busy taking care of her younger sister and brother to have time for herself. However, when she transfers to the Hershey boarding school, she begins to see a way out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Meanwhile, the family is on the verge of collapse, at the mercy of a token poverty support system and a dysfunctional child protection system. Dasani, who lives apart from her family, blames herself for her inability to do anything about their plight, and her life is in shambles. Why are black people trapped in poverty and unable to escape? This magnificent nonfiction work vividly depicts the historical and structural factors as well as the flaws in the welfare system, and approaches the true nature of poverty.
