Exclusive Video Premiere: Churches Take on the Billion-Dollar Industry Making the Poor Poorer

When the state government did nothing, Texas churches stepped up to fight for change in their local communities.

A new documentary by Deidox Films tells the true story of church communities rising to protect the poor from predatory loans.
