The Bottom Rung

The Bottom Rung is a hard hitting study of poverty in America. The film presents an opportunity for the homeless to speak for themselves about the issues that directly affect their lives. Although much is heard about the homeless, rarely are their voices heard.

Shooting was done in cities across the East Coast including New York City, Roanoke, Virginia, Atlanta, Georgia, Nashville, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana. By allowing the homeless and poverty-stricken to speak for themselves we were able to hear a powerful message that has never been presented to the public. The most articulate of the speakers explained the details of how a system has been created wherein those who make it their business to help the homeless have profited greatly. For the sake of those profits they have structured the system in a way that it assures its continued existence by building roadblocks that keep the homeless from escaping their situation.
