Two American Families: 1991-2024 by Frontline |
| A chronicle of the lives and economic struggles of two families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin — one Black and one white — across more than three decades, this “knockout documentary†(The New York Times) raises unsettling questions about the changing nature of the American economy.

“Two American Families: 1991-2024†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 families’ 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.
“There 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,†said Terry Neumann, who was a mom of young kids when the documentary’s producers began filming with her and is now in her early 60s. “It’s like we haven’t come very far.â€
“I won’t give up,†said Jackie Stanley, who is working as a real estate agent while entering her 70s.
