Please join us for a one-time screening of the documentary film American Winter. AVLF is starting a dialogue – with this film as the touchstone – about poverty in America, poverty in Atlanta, and the barriers it creates for too many of our neighbors.

American Winter follows the personal stories of eight families struggling in the wake of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The film presents an intimate snapshot of the state of the economy as it is playing out in the lives of American families and highlights the human impact of budget cuts to social services, a shrinking middle class, and the fracturing of the American Dream.

Your admission includes a Q&A after the screening with the film’s director, local service providers, and community leaders. Our goal is to help everyone do a better job as we work together to ensure that Atlanta is a healthier and safer place for all of us.
