A Single Mother's Struggle to Survive the Housing Crisis - Eviction, a Social Impact Film

In the backdrop of glitzy and glamorous Las Vegas, far removed from the images we see in the media, Martha and Jenny discover first-hand the grave eviction crisis sweeping America, forcing them into homelessness.

Martha, a substitute teacher out of work, embarks on a powerful, tough, and emotional journey to keep her daughter and get back on her feet while navigating a broken system that continues to fail thousands of people unable to find stable housing. The process of overcoming homelessness is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, but Martha will knock on every door and do all she can to break the prison-sentence-like cycle of homeless on families with underage children - to provide a better future for Jenny.
