A chronicle of the lives and economic struggles of two families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin â€” one Black and one white â€” across more than three decades, this â€œknockout documentaryâ€� (The New York Times) raises unsettling questions about the changing nature of the American economy. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donateÃ¢â‚¬â€¹/ â€œTwo American Families: 1991-2024â€� documents the saga of two families, the Stanleys and the Neumanns, who have spent the past 34 years battling to keep from sliding into poverty, and who refuse to give up despite upheaval in the U.S. economy. When the team first began documenting the familiesâ€™ lives in 1991, the Neumanns and Stanleys were both struggling to adapt to a new, global economy and the trend towards part-time, lower-wage work. With profound intimacy, the documentary follows the stories of the Stanleys and the Neumanns across six presidential administrations and offers a powerful window into how they and their now-grown children have fared while trying to stay afloat in an economy that has presented challenge after challenge for them. â€œThere are so many people struggling the same way with the cost of everything and not getting enough on your paycheck to cover your monthly expenses,â€� said Terry Neumann, who was a mom of young kids when the documentaryâ€™s producers began filming with her and is now in her early 60s. â€œItâ€™s like we havenâ€™t come very far.â€� â€œI wonâ€™t give up,â€� said Jackie Stanley, who is working as a real estate agent while entering her 70s. â€œTwo American Families: 1991-2024â€� is a FRONTLINE production with Okapi Productions LLC and Public Affairs Television, Inc. in association with Left/Right Docs. The producers and directors are Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes. The co-producer is Andrew Fredericks. The senior producers are Frank Koughan and Nina Chaudry. The writer is Kathleen Hughes.
