subprimes, an american tragedy

I followed two families in the process of being evicted from their homes in Cleveland, Ohio. The wider context is explained, with passion, by an angry county treasurer, who faults the banks and the Bush administration. He uses maps to show how whole areas of Cleveland are becoming ghost towns, literally. These necessary explanations are weaved with the story of those two families, and other actors of this contemporary drama, including a policeman who does 11 evictions a day. It truly is a moving story. I filmed it at the beginning of November.
