The Working Hungry Film Screening and Q&A
Monday, March 27, 2023
6:30 PM - 7:45 PM
Join us for a screening of the documentary The Working Hungry and a following Q&A with local community leaders. The Working Hungry is a 30-minute film built around the stories of three families, and through them the stories of more than 700,000 people across the state of Indiana. Most of these are working families, and their hunger is hidden from those around them.
The compelling documentary asks why, in a time of low unemployment and food abundance, is food insecurity and hunger so prevalent? And what can be done? This film will dive deep into the reality of food insecurity in Indiana, and what more could be done to destigmatize the conversation, more clearly understand underlying causes, and truly end hunger. All ages.
This program is in partnership with Purdue Extension.
