Banks and the Poor

Documentary

This searing documentary from 1970 still resonates powerfully today. The film described how large banks discriminated against poor customers and spotlighted the connection between the banking industry and Washington. The doc also featured a hidden-camera scene in a loan office where a weeping woman’s house was seized over a handful of dollars.
