They battle E.Coli, financial stress, and the realization that there are no easy answers. Yet, the generosity and strength of their neighbors, Rosa, Anthony and Chino gives them resilient hope.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Living on One Dollar has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.5/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2013 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
