Filmed in an area fast - approaching the front lines of gentrification, this work underscores that — in the material evidence of a community's efforts
toward spiritual, cultural and
economic independence — there is something worth the effort of keeping.
In the recent past, Small worked on the evaluation of the UK Employment Retention and Advancement Project, which offered financial incentives to the unemployed and underemployed to gain, retain, and advance in work, and the Working
toward Wellness evaluation, which sought to increase
economic independence by offering counseling and work support to an unemployed and depressed population.
