HBO’S EMMY-NOMINATED AMERICAN WINTER

About

For countless middle-class families who have experienced job loss or an unexpected financial setback, the American Dream has become an American nightmare.  Working families, seemingly on a path toward economic security, have discovered how quickly they can slip from the middle class into poverty.  Directed by Emmy®-winning filmmakers Joe and Harry Gantz (HBO’s “Taxicab Confessions,” “The Defenders”), AMERICAN WINTER features struggling Oregon families who called into the state’s “211info” social services hotline in search of help in the winter of 2012. The film presents an intimate snapshot of the state of the nation’s economy as it is playing out in the lives of many American families, and reveals the human consequences of rising economic insecurity, budget cuts to the social safety net, and the fracturing of the American Dream.
