Welfare plot

As part of his observational work and his critique of American institutions, Frederick Wiseman films daily life in a Social Welfare Center in New York in 1974. For several months, he attends as a silent witness the discussions between the employees and the users. They are sent from one service to another, always obliged to account for themselves and to play a role in order to be able to enjoy their benefits. Hundreds of people, desperate and indignant, but always dignified, submit for two and a half hours to the camera of the master of "direct" cinema.
