This is a really powerful film from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation about the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, which manifests itself in different ways.

A number of individuals relate their stories - and it makes for uncomfortable viewing. These people are socially excluded, and their living standards are dramatically reduced by their experience of poverty.

This is poverty.

📽️ OUT NOW - our new short film #ThisIsPoverty. Watch and share this poignant documentary which demonstrates the injustice of poverty in the UK. Together we can change this and #SolveUKPoverty. https://t.co/8Fn1ra8r9L
