The FRONTLINE Dispatch

Born Poor: A 14-Year Journey into Childhood Poverty and its Consequences


Listen Later

What happens when you grow up poor in America—and stay in touch with the same filmmaker for more than a decade? FRONTLINE filmmaker Jezza Neumann and documentary participant Kaylie Hegwood reflect on “Born Poor,” a film following three children, including Kaylie, from their lives as “Poor Kids” into young adulthood. Fourteen years after filming began, Neumann and Hegwood discuss poverty, perseverance, and what it really takes to break the cycle. Produced by Joel Patterson. Hosted by Raney Aronson-Rath.

Watch the full documentary, Born Poor, on FRONTLINE’s YouTube channel and PBS.org.
