Already selected as the “Writer as Witness” text to be read and discussed by the incoming Class of 2014 at American University, The Moral Underground is based on Dodson’s eight years of research and conversations with hundreds of Americans about the need to create ethical alternatives to rules that ignore the humanity of working parents and put their children at risk.
The Moral Underground has been called “powerful” by The Weekly Sift, “the documentary tradition at its very best” by Pulitzer Prize–winner Robert Coles, and “inspiring” and “hard hitting” by Spirituality and Practice magazine, which wrote, “Dodson does a remarkable job of conveying the sense of deep unfairness that pervades the feelings of these individuals who are paid less than they need to live.”
