The River Runs Deep
Andre, a boy staying with his mom at the Oaks of Rightness homeless shelter tries to rake the trash from a paved parking lot next door to the shelter. He is part of a crew of kids and adults who spend an afternoon pick up trash and tidying up the empty lot.
Monroe is a small town half way between Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH. Its biggest claim to fame is being the headquarters of Lazy Boy Corporation. Lazy Boy no longer manufactures furniture here. It imports it from China. Two paper mills and a number of car factories (including Ford) used to operate in the area. They are all gone now. Jobs that are still available in the area are low paying and mostly in the service industry.
