Two Cape Cods: Hidden Poverty on the Cape and Islands
Series produced by WCAI / WNAN Cape & Islands, Mass.
duPont-Columbia award winning series on poverty amidst prosperity
Those who serve Cape Cod's poor are the first to point out that behind the veil of the affluent summer paradise we all recognize, hides a community that continually struggles to make ends meet. This duPont-Columbia Award-winning series examines the unique factors that contribute to persistent and hidden poverty throughout the Cape and Islands region.
Each story is set in one of the fifteen towns on Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
