San Francisco’s Taxi Medallion Sales Program promised cab drivers a path to financial stability but, instead, it became a financial trap. As City Hall embraced the rise of Uber and Lyft, taxi medallion owners - who had paid $250,000 for the right to operate - found themselves drowning in debt with no way out. Through the stories of three cab drivers, this documentary explores the human cost of a policy failure that left a once-prized permit worthless and an industry in crisis.
