Please join us at Champlain College Auditorium for the second film in our September Screening Series. The Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) is partnering with Champlain College to bring the community 3 documentary films discussing poverty, hunger, and homelessness in the community.

The second film we're screening is Poor Kids, FRONTLINE (http://ow.ly/oOWvC). Join us on September 17th at 6:30 for this community screening! Walk-ins welcome!

Each film will be followed by a community discussion about the issues each film explores. We hope you'll join us in thinking about how we can address these kinds of issues in our own community! Admission and concession by donation.

Poor Kids Film Synopsis: For "Poor Kids," FRONTLINE spent months following six children who are growing up against the backdrop of their families' struggles against financial ruin. Filmmaker Jezza Neuman explored the lives of children living in the suburbs of the nation's heartland. They asked the children what being poor in America really looks like through their eyes.

The result is an intimate portrait of the economic crisis as it's rarely seen, through the eyes of children. At a time when one in five American kids lives below the poverty line, "Poor Kids" is an unflinching and revealing exploration of what poverty means to children, and to the country's future.
