Description

The makers of The Working Hungry set out to collect and share the stories of three families and, through them, represent the stories of more than 700,000 people across the state of Indiana who are food insecure. Most of these are working families, and their hunger is hidden from those around them. In a time of low unemployment and food abundance, why is this happening – and what can be done? In The Working Hungry, you’ll meet three families to hear about the reality of hunger in Indiana and what more could be done to truly end hunger. Following the 30-minute documentary, we'll have a panel discussion featuring: Julia Valliant, Assistant Research Scientist, Sustainable Food Systems Science at Indiana UniversityKaren Richie, Staff Counselor and Care Manager, adjunct professor, and manager of the student food pantry at Indiana University SoutheastVincent James, President, and CEO, Dare to Care Food BankEmily Weikert Bryant, Executive Director, Feeding Indiana's HungryModerator: Angie Fenton, President, and CEO, Extol MediaFree Admission.
