Скачать или смотреть Ruth Langmore Never Had a Chance (And Neither Do Millions)

Ruth Langmore was smart. Ruth Langmore was strong. And yet, Ruth Langmore never had a chance.

Born into poverty, violence, and generational struggle, Ruth fought like hell to break free. But in the end, the system wasn’t designed for her to win.

This video breaks down how poverty traps work, why Ruth Langmore was doomed from the start, and how real-life Ruths are facing the same fate every day.
