The 16 Best Movies About Poverty and Homelessness, Ranked by Whatnerd

"These poignant movies about poverty and homelessness say much about these tough subjects that we too often shy away from. Poverty and homelessness have always been pressing issues around the world, but their shape and appearance have differed across countries, across cultures, and across centuries. It's a hard topic to talk about as poverty and homelessness are tough to truly grasp if you haven't had first-hand experience, and it's (understandably) prone to get emotions flaring. One of the best ways to develop sympathy and cognizance for both poverty and homelessness is to watch movies with realistic depictions of what it's like to live on the poverty line, the failings of modern society, and the challenges of climbing out when you're stuck. Prepare to get a little (or a lot) angry and sad as you dive into these movies about poverty and homelessness, which incorporate aspects like unemployment, debt, hardships, and maybe even a bit of hope." - whatnerd.com
