From the legacy of urban renewal and the War on Poverty to today's sprawling network of social programs, the tragedy of treating human struggle as a technical problem lives on, and many of the big plans to end poverty have kept people trapped. Drawing on more than 130 interviews from 16 states, the film traces a sweeping story of policy failure and lost communities, but also redemption and finding life after prison, addiction, and homelessness.
