Sundays 10 pm ET / 7pm PT, starting May 3 on Al Jazeera America. www.hardearnedseries.comnn“Hard Earned,” produced by the Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary production team behind films such as “Hoop Dreams,” “The Interrupters,” “The Trials of Muhammad Ali,” and “Life Itself,” is a provocative and in-depth look at the lives of five working-class American families.nnIn six one-hour episodes, Al Jazeera America follows the families both at work and at home, as they juggle the rising costs of housing, education, food, medical bills and more – all while working low-wage jobs. As widening economic inequality and the wealth gap continue to increase in the U.S., can these lower-income families get ahead? How are wage stagnation, student loan debt and demographic shifts in the workforce contributing to financial instability for many Americans? nnOfficial website: www.hardearnedseries.comnhttps://www.facebook.com/HardEarnedAJAMnTwitter: @HardEarnedAJAMnFind Al Jazeera America in your area: www.aljazeera.com/getajamnLink to online version of press release: https://kartemquin.com/news/coming-to-al-jazeera-america-on-may-3-hard-earnednRead an interview with Hard Earned Series Producer Maggie Bowman: https://www.kartemquin.com/news/interview-with-maggie-bowman-producer-of-hard-earnednnSeries Producer: Maggie BowmannSeries Editors / Co-Directors: Liz Kaar, David E.
