The Forgotten Americans background

The Forgotten Americans

A filmmaker travels to colonias, capturing the inspiring stories of American communities that thrive amidst adversity, overcoming challenges such as unpaved roads and limited access to basic necessities like water and electricity.

Colonias in America are shantytowns characterized by ruddy, crudely constructed shacks made of old boards and cardboard, often lacking basic services like water and electricity due to unregistered land ownership.
