4 JANUARY 2021
In FIRSTHAND: Living in Poverty, streaming at wttw.com/poverty and on the PBS app beginning January 18, we meet five people who are experiencing inter-generational poverty, to better understand the daily challenges that make their circumstances difficult to escape. FIRSTHAND executive producer Dan Protess takes us behind the scenes to learn more about the project.
Q: This is the third topic covered by the FIRSTHAND team. Why did you decide to focus the FIRSTHAND lens on poverty?
Dan Protess: We chose the topic in the spring of 2020 when the COVID-19 cri-sis was both exposing and exacerbating income inequality. We were hearing aw-ful stories about Americans who had to choose between going hungry and going to workplaces where they would almost certainly get sick. This seemed like the
2021 JANUARY 5
right time to focus on a larger crisis that has been brewing for a half-century or more: a growing divide between rich and poor, and a decline in social mobility. We spent a lot of time looking at a mapping tool called the Opportunity Atlas, which showed us what we intuitively knew: that in many Chicago neighborhoods, people who are born in poverty are very likely to live in poverty as adults. Our goal was to look at that map through the eyes of the people who are living that reality – knowing that the odds are stacked against them – and to witness the daily challeng-es they face.
Q: How were the five people featured in the documentary series chosen?
Protess: We reached out to about 60 or-ganizations that address poverty, which connected us with 50 or so of their cli-ents. As we met with these potential doc-umentary subjects, we were looking for all of the attributes that producers typ-ically want to see, such as whether they were thoughtful and had a good onscreen presence. But we also wanted to find peo-ple whose stories would illuminate com-mon challenges confronting Chicagoans who are living in poverty, such as a lack of access to transportation, healthcare, and childcare. The pandemic added an additional wrinkle: so many people are spending their entire days at home, ei-ther looking for work or sitting in virtual meetings, which clearly wasn’t going to make for a compelling documentary. So we were also looking for people who had busy summers ahead of them. At the last minute, a gift landed in our laps: our pro-ducer/director Pat Odom was at a restau-rant in Humboldt Park and overheard a police officer talking about poverty. That officer connected us with our fifth and fi-nal documentary subject.
Q: What did you learn about poverty that you didn’t know before?
Protess: I’ve always had the sense that Americans viewed poverty as a moral failure – that because we have this belief that anyone can make it here, people who don’t succeed must somehow be at fault. What this project helped crystalize for me is that this attitude is not only standing in our way of adequately addressing pover-ty, but it’s also creating more poverty. We shy away from making much-needed in-vestments in neighborhoods and schools because we feel that people who are living in poverty don’t deserve that investment, or because we’re convinced that they’ll abuse it. One of the results is that people who are living in poverty not only often lack the opportunities and education they need, but they also get a not-so-subtle message from society that they don’t de-serve better. That message can have a real-ly corrosive effect on a person, especially when they can clearly see the gleaming buildings downtown and ads for luxury items on social media, plus a perceived sense of entitlement coming from peo-ple who are enjoying what America has promised them. In our series, you get a glimpse of the psychological impact this has on our subjects. Not only do they lack opportunities, but they are also saddled with a real sense of shame and lack of hope.
Q: What do you hope Chicagoans take away from FIRSTHAND: Living in Poverty?
Protess: Because Chicago is so segregat-ed – racially and economically – we rare-ly get a firsthand look at what life looks like for people on the other side of town. For some viewers, this series will offer an opportunity to see their own stories re-
flected on screen. For others, it will give them a fresh view of our city through the eyes of people who are struggling to get by. And my hope is that these new per-spectives will allow all of us to better un-derstand how the decisions we make as citizens and consumers can make a dif-ference in peoples’ lives. For example, one of our subjects is a cashier at a national pharmacy chain. We’ve all stood across the counter from someone like her. This series gives us a glimpse of what her life looks like after she leaves the store, and what it’s like to raise four kids on a mini-mum wage job. Two of our subjects – both of whom are African American – moved out of town toward the end of filming, which is a difficult decision that so many of Chicago’s Black residents have made. The series allows us to witness the set of circumstances that are fueling this larg-er, troubling trend. But I also anticipate that despite the difficult subject matter, this series will leave our audience feeling hopeful. We see solutions that are work-ing: like a fascinating basic income exper-iment, and an innovative workforce de-velopment program. And the resiliency of all five of these people is inspiring. Their stories don’t all have happy endings, but their strength and determination give us reason to be optimistic.
