Overview
More than a decade ago, the Emmy-nominated documentary "Poor Kids" explored poverty in the United States as it’s rarely seen: through the eyes of children. "Born Poor" tells the stories of the same children, now grown, chronicling their lives from childhood to the present day. The 90-minute documentary follows Kaylie, Johnny and Brittany across three chapters of their lives as they grow from kids to teenagers to adults, trying to pursue their dreams while dealing with an economy where they face more obstacles than opportunities — and trying to overcome the grinding poverty that shaped their childhoods.

This is a phenomenal socio-anthropological long term documentary, on key families, and there difficulty navigating the American economy over recent time. This also serves as a great time capsule as well. I appreciated the time and care that the documentarians took to film over such a long period of time and keep in touch with these folks. I appreciated the candor of the individuals filmed. I found this enlightening and yet frightening relatable.
