August in the Empire State Part Two

The 2004 presidential election was one of the most politically divisive moments in recent American history. Amidst the division, the Republican Party held its first ever convention in New York City. Using the convention and the animated reaction of New Yorkers as its backdrop, "August in the Empire State Part Two" continues a look at the forgotten debate over the growth of poverty in America. The film takes the viewer behind the scenes, exposing the people and the very personal stakes at the heart of what divides us as a country.
