In a powerful short film, ‘This is poverty’, from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), produced by Connected Pictures, the experiences of seven people from around the UK are boldly illustrated in their own words.
The film poignantly demonstrates the injustice of being held back by poverty - and that it doesn’t have to be this way. If we all work toether around a shared goal, poverty can be solved.
