Outriders
Poor and homeless families on a cross-country odyssey to expose poverty in America.
The Outriders know that this trip won't be easy; hardly enough gas or money, cramped on a bus each day and sleeping-out each night. What the Outriders don't know is that this trip will challenge them in unimaginable ways and change each of them forever. This third film in the "Poverty in America" trilogy premiered at the International Peace Conference at the Hague, May, 1999. Broadcast on PBS in 2000. Since then it has been used by hundreds of activists and educators around the country.
