Matt Roush says...
Frontline, one of TV’s most essential documentary and public affairs series, has spent 34 years partnering with journalism legend Bill Moyers on this sobering chronicle of two Milwaukee families, one Black (the Stanleys) and one white (the Newmans), as they struggle to stay above the poverty line after the downturn in factory and manufacturing jobs swept away their sense of economic security. This two-hour special, Two American Families: 1991-2024, is the fifth film in a remarkable series that began in 1992 (Minimum Wages: The New Economy), and its sweeping narrative is a troubling, though not hopeless, account of resilience and sacrifice among generations.
