Just finished watching it.

It is heartbreaking and angering that our public policy is geared toward making sure this happens.

Narration-less narrative. The subjects speak for themselves.

Psychological damage done to the families.... and especially the kids ....is searing.

Interesting focus on the upper mid-west. Where normally the cameras don't go. Rural Iowa, Illinois, etc.

I live in coastal Orange County, CA. I know why the 1%ers here keep re-electing the vile piece of shit Dana Rohrabacher, but I just don't get why Southern poor whites keep voting against their interests.
