Poverty is spread all across the country, even in counties which seem to be wealthy due to the imperfect American system. But what is our individual or collective responsibility to do something about it?  This documentary made by a teenage filmmaker hopes to encourage people to acknowledge the poverty, treat the impoverished population with respect, and spread one’s positivity, so there is a light in everyone’s day.

Like many veterans, US Marine Roman Baca wasn’t the same when he returned home from war. He served in Fallujah, Iraq from 2005 to 2006. His experience ravaged him with depression, anxiety, and anger issues. This led Roman to start Exit12 — a New York based dance company that tells stories of war through dance and choreography.
