The American Nightmare

On the 10th anniversary of the national housing crisis, four families told us about losing their homes. Long after the Great Recession ended, they’re still feeling the effects of the 2008 crisis, and they remain wary about possibly facing another one in the future. “The American Nightmare” documentary explores what the 2008 financial crisis looked like for the people who lived through it – and how it’s changed their plans for their financial futures, and along the way, redefined their ideas of the American dream.
