About the Film
People in poverty know what’s happening to them. They see what’s broken and how to fix it. But across California — on issues as diverse as housing, immigration, mass incarceration, and entrepreneurship — few were hearing them. Poverty and Power, directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth, is the story of what happens when you bring people with lived experience — their voices, ideas, and aspirations — to the halls of power. It’s a journey culminating in a rally in Sacramento and the inaugural meeting of the Select Committee on Poverty and Economic Inclusion, where we can hear directly from people living in poverty about the policy changes they want to see.
