==Plot==
==Plot==
The film tells the story of the Januson family: widowed father Bill and his two children, Willa and Robbie. After working as a welder at [[General Motors]] for 17 years, a robot took over Bill's job and the family is now struggling.
⚫
{{Long plot|date=January 2010}}
Willa and Caroline are playing [[hide and seek]] at Caroline's house. As Willa runs through the house looking for a place to hide we see that Caroline's house is very upscale. It's three stories with a [[swimming pool]] and expensive furniture. Robbie is hiding in a tree across the street watching his sister. He is supposed to pick up Willa but he waits until after the Millerton's let Willa eat dinner with them before he knocks on the door.


Bill's daughter Willa suffers from coughing fits and headaches due to [[malnutrition]], so Bill takes her to see their doctor and next door neighbor, Michael Millerton. Dr. Millerton says that Willa's [[immune system]] is weakening for lack of iron. He tells Bill that Willa is now at the age when any period of time without adequate nutrition can have long lasting and irreversible implications. Over time, the two families become friends. The Millertons help their neighbors in various ways, either by lending them money or giving them food.
Bill takes Willa to the clinic because her coughing and headaches are getting worse. Bill wants to know what's wrong with her but Michael refuses to tell him anything until the results of the tests come back.


⚫
Son Robbie starts skipping school to find ways to earn money. At first, he helps people bring their groceries to their car and then he walks through the park looking for cans and bottles to recycle. He meets a female mechanic named Gus with whom he develops a friendship. Gus tells Robbie, "A man's not a man unless he pulls his weight." After spending some time together, Robbie and Gus enter into a partnership with each other to fix an old car so they can sell it.
While grocery shopping, the kids scarf down as many free samples as they can until the employee tells them that the samples are just incentives for people to buy. Robbie pretends he's going to buy some but then leaves them on a shelf when he walks away. When they check out Bill doesn't have enough money to pay for all the groceries so he's forced to put some back.


After trying and failing to find a better job, Bill goes to apply for food stamps and is told that the earliest he can receive assistance will be in five days. Later, Bill happens to walk by a construction site and, feeling desperate, he joins in and starts working. By the end of the day, the supervisor decides to hire him.

At this point Robbie starts skipping school to find ways to earn money. At first he helps people bring their groceries to their car and then he walks through the park looking for cans and bottles to recycle. Eventually he comes across a [[mechanic]] named Gus whom he develops a friendship with.


Gus tells Robbie the car needs a new [[carburetor]]. Robbie steals Bill's rent money and buys the part that he needs. The next day, Gus tells him that she found a buyer willing to pay $1,855 for the car and that she's willing to split it with him because of all the help that he has given her. Unfortunately, Gus' coworker borrows the car to see her boyfriend and ends up in a car accident. Having lost hope completely, Robbie attempts to commit suicide by hanging himself in the shower. At the hospital, Robbie confesses to his father about stealing the money. Bill is just happy to see that Robbie will be alright. The film ends on an uncertain but hopeful note as the Millerton and Januson families visit together.
At Caroline's house while playing make-believe, Willa steals some food from the Millerton's pantry and hides it in her school bag. Caroline's mother notices but doesn't confront her about it because she doesn't know what to say. Feeling bad, however, she gives Willa a bag of [[apple]]s when she's about to leave to take home with her.


== Cast ==
Bill has to work a double shift at the fast food restaurant so he's not able to bring Willa to her doctor's appointment. Michael meets Bill at work to give him an update on Willa. He says that Willa's [[immune system]] is weak because she's not getting enough [[iron]]. He tells Bill that Willa is now at the age when any period of time without adequate [[nutrition]] can have long lasting implications that she can't make up for.

However, before he's able to start his new job he finds out that the owner replaced him with his nephew. Bill is pissed off now because he's unemployed and he spent a bunch of money for clothes that he doesn't need anymore. At home Caroline witnesses Bill fly into a rage throwing furniture.

The next day Bill finds a job at a car wash through a [[temp agency]]. He comes home to a house with no food and changes his mind about the [[barbecue]] at the Millerton's. It turns out to be a little awkward because Caroline's grandparents and the Januson's don't have anything in common.

He takes the money Bill was saving for rent that he had kept hidden. While there he gets caught by his father, and they have another big fight. Bill finds out that Robbie has been skipping school for 3 weeks but he doesn't find out about the money. Robbie tells him, "a man's not a man unless he pulls his weight" and reminds Bill about something that he said earlier, that he is "just another mouth to feed". He tells Robbie to go back to school but instead Robbie buys the part that he needs, and takes it to Gus. The next day she tells him that she found a buyer willing to pay $1,855 for the car and that she's willing to split it with him because of all the help that he has given her.

Bill happens to walk by a [[construction site]] and feeling desperate he joins in and starts working. Even though he wasn't hired, they let him work because they need the help. By the end of the day the supervisor decides to hire him after seeing what a hard worker he is.

Meanwhile, Robbie goes to see Gus and finds that the car isn't there. Unfortunately she wasn't able to sell it. Angela, a girl who works with her, borrowed the car the night before to see her boyfriend and ended up in a [[car accident]]. Gus tries to explain to him that it's not the end of the world, but she doesn't know the situation that he is in.

When he gets home Willa tries to console him seeing that he's very upset. Robbie just ignores her, so she goes outside. Thinking that there is no more hope, Robbie trashes the [[time capsule]] that he's been making and then writes on the bathroom mirror, "one less mouth to feed". He steps into the shower, takes off his belt and ties it to the showerhead.

When Bill returns home he finds Willa waiting for him on the outside steps. He is excited to tell her and Robbie about his new job as a construction worker. They go inside to find Robbie passed out in the bathtub. The showerhead had broken.

At the hospital Robbie wakes up and confesses to his father about stealing the money. Bill is just happy to see that Robbie will be alright. Later, we see Willa and Caroline playing in a park. Caroline notices that Willa is sad but tries to pretend like nothing is wrong. Playfully, she starts tossing flower petals at Willa but she is too tired to play along.

Hidden in America is a 1996

Emmy Award. The film aired on December 1, 1996 on Showtime[1] and was released to DVD on February 8, 2005.[2]

Plot

The film tells the story of the Januson family: widowed father Bill and his two children, Willa and Robbie. After working as a welder at General Motors for 17 years, a robot took over Bill's job and the family is now struggling.

Bill's daughter Willa suffers from coughing fits and headaches due to malnutrition, so Bill takes her to see their doctor and next door neighbor, Michael Millerton. Dr. Millerton says that Willa's immune system is weakening for lack of iron. He tells Bill that Willa is now at the age when any period of time without adequate nutrition can have long lasting and irreversible implications. Over time, the two families become friends. The Millertons help their neighbors in various ways, either by lending them money or giving them food.

Son Robbie starts skipping school to find ways to earn money. At first, he helps people bring their groceries to their car and then he walks through the park looking for cans and bottles to recycle. He meets a female mechanic named Gus with whom he develops a friendship. Gus tells Robbie, "A man's not a man unless he pulls his weight." After spending some time together, Robbie and Gus enter into a partnership with each other to fix an old car so they can sell it.

After trying and failing to find a better job, Bill goes to apply for food stamps and is told that the earliest he can receive assistance will be in five days. Later, Bill happens to walk by a construction site and, feeling desperate, he joins in and starts working. By the end of the day, the supervisor decides to hire him.

Gus tells Robbie the car needs a new carburetor. Robbie steals Bill's rent money and buys the part that he needs. The next day, Gus tells him that she found a buyer willing to pay $1,855 for the car and that she's willing to split it with him because of all the help that he has given her. Unfortunately, Gus' coworker borrows the car to see her boyfriend and ends up in a car accident. Having lost hope completely, Robbie attempts to commit suicide by hanging himself in the shower. At the hospital, Robbie confesses to his father about stealing the money. Bill is just happy to see that Robbie will be alright. The film ends on an uncertain but hopeful note as the Millerton and Januson families visit together.
