Two American Families: 1991-2024

Q&A with Filmmakers Tom Casciato & Kathleen Hughes

Two American Families: 1991-2024, a special, two-hour documentary filmed over more than 30 years, is a portrait of perseverance from FRONTLINE, Bill Moyers, and filmmakers Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes that raises unsettling questions about the changing nature of the American economy and the impact on people struggling to make a living.

The documentary will be followed by a Q&A with producers and directors Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes.

In partnership with PBS, this special screening is free and open to the public.

 

 

"Families' is intimate and dignified, unwavering but gentle. At a time when so much documentary television feels generic, disposable and even straightforwardly pointless, this is both a master work unto itself and a glaring reminder of what is largely absent in television narrative nonfiction."
Margaret Lyons, The New York Times

This film is part of the Community Matters: Now More Than Ever series.
