NGM and CCHD release Among the People

Witness the triumph of the human spirit and see how the cycle of poverty is broken in the powerful new documentary, Among the People: Facing Poverty in America.

Riveting and inspiring, Among the People: Facing Poverty in America takes audiences below the poverty line, into an uncertain state where nearly 35 million people across this nation are struggling to survive. But far from a descent into bitter despair, Among the People is a journey of hope - and a moving portrayal of how the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is assisting projects in impoverished communities throughout the United States to break free of the brutal cycle of poverty.

From migrant farm laborers in the fields of Oregon to ex-convicts on the streets of South Central LA, from drought-relief initiatives along the Rio Grande to welfare-to-work successes in the South Bronx, Among the People presents the poignant, compelling and ultimately heartening stories of how grassroots groups and CCHD are "striving toward long-term solutions by attacking poverty's causes together."

Originally broadcast on the Hallmark Channel and on many NBC-TV affiliates.
