Faith, labor and community groups that form the Minneapolis Living Wage 
Yes!
Coalition agree, the term "working poor" should be an oxymoron. If you 
work
full time, you should not be poor, but more than 30 million Americans - 
one
in four workers - are stuck in low wage jobs that do not provide the 
basics
for a decent life. WAGING A LIVING chronicles the battle of four 
low-wage
workers to lift their families out of poverty. Shot over a three-year 
period
in the northeast and California, this observational documentary 
captures the
dreams, frustrations, and accomplishments of a diverse group of workers 
who
struggle to live from paycheck to paycheck. By presenting an unvarnished
look at the barriers that these workers must overcome to escape poverty,
WAGING A LIVING offers a sobering view of the elusive American Dream.

Screens with Rosevelt's America- After being tortured and narrowly 
escaping
execution in Liberia, Rosevelt Henderson makes his way to America to 
build a
new life for his family.
