How is it possible that people in this country continue to go hungry, despite our abundance of food?

A Place at the Table, a new eye-opening documentary, answers that question through the lives of Americans across the country for whom putting food on the table is a daily struggle. Their stories reveal the depth of the hunger crisis in America, the factors that drive it, and the progress we have made in the past. Bread for the World is a major alliance organization of the film, which is produced by Participant Media and distributed by Magnolia Pictures. Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters coincides with the release of the film and is also called "A Place at the Table."

 

Currently in limited release, the documentary will be shown at The Fleur Cinema & Caf� in Des Moines, IA (4545 Fleur Dr.) beginning Friday, March 15. For show times and directions visit www.fleurcinema.com

 

Opportunities to view this Sundance Festival Film may be limited. A Place at the Table ultimately shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides - as they have in the past - that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all.   For more information about A Place at the Table as well as a film discussion guide visit: www.takepart.com/place-at-the-table
