Living on One Dollar is an award-winning film and journey that follows our own experience living on $1 a day for two months in rural Guatemala.

We battle intense hunger, parasites and the realization that there are no easy answers, but find hope in the inspiring lives of our neighbors Rosa, a 20-year-old woman, and Chino, a 12-year-old boy.

Living On One Dollar
