Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life and Times of Katrina Gilbert on DVD

Filmed in Chattanooga, TN, Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life & Times of Katrina Gilbert is a personal journey that follows a year in the life of Katrina Gilbert, a 30-year-old woman earning just above the minimum wage as a certified nursing assistant. Katrina never expected to be a single mother of three young children, living paycheck to paycheck and barely scraping by. But after leaving her husband Jeremy - whose addiction to painkillers destroyed their marriage and gutted their finances - Katrina finds herself living in a trailer and providing sole support to her children. Overworked underpaid and uninsured, Katrina's saving graces are a budding relationship with a single father facing similar circumstances and the Chambliss Center, a subsidized day-care center that provides affordable daycare. A microcosm of the ordeal faced by some 70 million women and children in the U.S. today, Paycheck to Paycheck is executive produced by Maria Shriver, and is a component of the recently released, multi-platform project, the Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Pushes Back from the Brink.
