Much of Poverties was filmed in the area of the Maxwell Street market. We see local residents, some homeless; junkyards and empty lots; the facade of a bar.

The sound track is a similarly dense collage of music fragments and spoken texts from various sources. The film is divided into seven numbered and titled sections.
