"Examining the impact of Reaganomics, Down and Out in America surveys the hardships affecting three societal subdivisions stricken by economic depression in the mid-1980s: farmers, factory workers, and people navigating housing insecurity. Directed by accomplished actor and filmmaker Lee Grant, the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1986 and remains tragic in its relevance four decades later. The film was restored in 4K from the 16mm A/B original camera negative. "
