The Human Face of Illinois’ Ongoing Budget Crisis

Miles Kampf-Lassin

We are excited to release the trailer for Stranded by the State, a new video series uncovering the human toll of Illinois’ ongoing budget crisis. This new collaboration between In These Times and Kartemquin Films will follow the families, workers and students living through the de facto budget cuts, showing the ways it deteriorates the fabric of Illinois communities.
