Joshua Tree

Storyline. Set in the USA heartland, Kate’s living the “American Dream”, but everything changes following the 2008 economic collapse. Kate’s husband loses everything in the stock market and it’s the final blow to their marriage. Kate is left alone with two young daughters, a house she obviously can’t afford, and few opportunities. Like millions of US Americans, she’s determined to earn enough money but soon falls behind and home foreclosure looms. Self-reliance is dear, and family communication is guarded especially about money, so Kate avoids her father, Alan, and brother though they are well-off. Instead she turns to her mother and a friend, they try to help but have limited resources. In desperation, Kate turns to surprising and secret solutions while struggling to provide for her children and maintain public appearances. All are thrust into difficult and defining choices as tragedy strikes and a painful search for redemption ensues.

A social-political fable at the crossroads of our times: what kind of individuals, families and country are we going to be?
