The story is about mothers raising their kids on the backside of Belmont Park (a thoroughbred racetrack) in Elmont Long Island (there are about 800 kids living on and around Belmont Park.) Racetracks are dangerous places for anyone especially kids - addiction, poverty and violence are prevalent. I've been following a few families; one woman for example is supporting her two kids on the $13,000 a year she makes selling racing programs. Another family from Mexico is here illegally and have been deported twice. But, they keep coming back with their three kids to live in a 400 square foot basement and make minimum wage on the racetrack. The story is essentially a 'behind the scenes' look at an invisible world hidden here in New York, and touches on issues of illegal immigration, poverty, housing, labor and family.
