D: Brandon Kramer | USA | 90 min | ARKANSAS PREMIERE
During the recent Great Recession, joblessness exceeded 20 percent east of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. City of Trees follows the highly personal stories of Charles, Michael and James, three long-term unemployed D.C. residents struggling to gain employment through “shovel ready” green projects. When stimulus dollars run out, short term idealism clashes with day-to-day survival in the struggle to find a sense of purpose and place in a recovering economy.
