Earlier today, Frontline hosted a live chat about Two American Families, a 90-minute documentary narrated by Bill Moyers that aired on PBS last night.

Filmmakers Kathleen Hughes and Tom Casciato, and Keith Stanley, a member of one of the families documented in the film, answered your questions about Milwaukee, the decline of the middle class and how the American Dream has changed over the past two decades. David Rohde, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and columnist for Reuters, The New York Times and The Atlantic who’s written about the hollowing out of Milwaukee’s middle class, facilitated the discussion.
