Description

The Saints of ASD is a documentary about how the Allentown School District fed children during the Pandemic. How does a school district feed over 16,000 children when schools are suddenly shutdown by a Worldwide pandemic? What affect does this have on the 1 in 4 children who experience food insecurity? The Saints of ASD follows cafeteria workers, parents, social workers & health officials as they work to figure out how to get food to children who are learning remotely. It was filmed over the course of 6 months in 14 different schools within the district. This film was funded by the Art of Encouragement grant through the City of Allentown and is directed by Brandon Wunder.
